Science Stuff: Marine Biology

What is marine biology? Marine biology is the study of ocean plants, animals, and their ecological relationships. By the end of these next two weeks, our class will become marine biologists! We'll learn about the origins of marine biology, study life under the ocean, and finish the unit with a trip to the Shedd Aquarium on October 2, 2011. Permission slips will be sent home next week. All permission slips and money are due by September 23, 2011.

"An estimated 50-80% of life on earth is found under the ocean surface and the oceans contain 99% of the living space on the planet!"
