The
UCLA Marine Science Center provides two outreach opportunities for educational
purposes aboard UCLA’s ship, the r/v Sea World UCLA.
Cruising
Classroom allows teachers of grades 4-12 to supplement their classroom
instruction with field experiences into the Santa Monica Bay. Aboard the
Sea World UCLA, students learn about oceanography, marine organisms
and navigation. These trips
reinforce many scientific terms and concepts introduced in class and provide
students with a first hand experience of their local marine ecosystem.
Our
Course Instruction program
is geared to more advanced High School, college level and adult groups
and is available to community organizations.
Programs aboard the Sea World UCLA can incorporate some
of the activities used in the Cruising Classroom, or the program can be
tailor made to meet your educational objectives.
Frequent Course Instruction Cruises have included marine mammal
studies, seabird distribution, chemical oceanography, and studies of zonation
of marine organisms.
