  CONTENT: Marine Science is a semester long class that is offered in the spring. This course provides students an opportunity to study the living and nonliving factors that shape the life of the salt water environments. The majority of the course will be spent studying the unique plant and animal phyla in these ecosystems and their relationships to one another. Physical factors that influence theses systems, such as water zones, currents and tides, water chemistry, and ocean topography along with the environmental issues concerning our oceans will also be studied. The Purdy Beach along with Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium will be valuable resources throughout the semester.
