Oceanography (Gr. 4-6)

Bishop Diego School • 4000 La Colina Rd Santa BarbaraCA  93105 Organized by Art Explorers & Terrific Scientific

About this event

Explore the depths of this STEAM camp, the ocean and some of the animals in it! Learn about hydrographic surveying of the ocean floor and coastal areas, high and low tides, tide pools and the marine life in them, the importance of coral in our lives and environment, and the fascinating jellyfish and shark. Discover the cleverness of an octopus, study the lovable manatee, learn to eat like a whale, clean an oil spill, make ‘fish prints’, and examine tiny life under the microscope. This camp has career related projects in Hydrography, Marine Biology, Engineering, and Art. * As a Hydrographic Civil Engineer, measure water depth and the contour of the ocean floor so ships and boats can navigate our waterways without hitting the bottom. * As a Marine Scientist, discover why jellyfish glow in the dark and how they move, why sharks have thousands of teeth, and why tide pools are important to marine life. * As a Coral Biologist, learn the types and colors of these polyps or coral, the algae in them, and their importance for food, medicine, and earth’s oxygen. * As an Artist, create a clay coral reef, draw sharks, make a Gyotaku fish print, a shark’s tooth necklace & a seashell wind chime.
