    Course Description

    Course Number: 2002515

    Course Length: 1 year

    Cambridge International AS Level Marine Science provides a coherent and stimulating introduction to the science of the marine environment. The emphasis throughout is on the understanding of concepts and the application of ideas to new contexts. It is expected that practical activities will underpin the teaching of the whole course. Students will have the opportunity to earn college credit by passing the exams in the spring.

    Course Objectives and Outline:

    The course will be divided into three basic categories:

    Practical Skills: Experimental planning (making estimates, predictions and hypothesis), presentation of data & observations, evaluation of procedures and data, analysis of data and conclusions.

    AS Level: Water, Earth Processes, Interactions in Marine Ecosystems, Classification and Biodiversity, Examples of Marine Ecosystems

    Make-Up Work will be provided for all students; however, no activities or assignments can replace the learning that occurs in the classroom when the student is present.  Two (2) days for each day of eligible absences shall be given to complete all class make-up work.  NO OTHER LATE ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED! Exams, tests, or quizzes & practical skills will be rescheduled at the discretion of the teacher, and must be completed in the classroom within 5 days of the student’s return to school.  If student is absent due to a school activity, work is due the day they return.  This includes test, quiz & practical make-ups. Most assignments are on Canvas so it is your responsibility to check the site daily, especially if you are absent. Be sure to sign the “Assignments to Check” clipboard in the classroom when assignments are completed late due to illness.

    Course Procedures

    This is a self-directed class with several individual assignments. During the course, students will read, actively read, complete practical skills and projects, and complete Canvas assignments while working individually as well as in groups.  Students are expected to study at home daily for quizzes and tests, which must be taken in my classroom, and to complete all assignments on time.  Students are also expected to participate in class, keep track of their progress in FOCUS, and view their Canvas account daily for assignments and announcements.
