Stephanie's children's school - learning by the sea

# data[].attributes.body
Enrolling your child in this special educational cruise experience ensures that they will receive a world-class education, learn about science, and visit the many natural treasures of the world.

# data[].attributes.body
It is learning by the sea's mission to carry out the following:

1. allow students to strengthen their science abilities
2. connect classroom learning to real life
3. provide students with the chance to see many different places throughout the world
4. facilitate UDL learning
5. expose student to various cultures and languages

The vast majority of the world's most adored scientific wonders will be explored by pupils while they are fully immersed in this educational experience.

These settings were specifically chosen to provide pupils with a fresh perspective on the scientific world around them.

Educators will encourage students to rethink science and develop respect and appreciation for nature and the study of science as a subject by encouraging them to ask questions about how they perceive the world. The overall goal is to cultivate curiosity and questioning about science in students' daily lives. A unique experience of slowing down, opening their minds to the world around them, and sparking creativity is provided to students by being immersed in nature.

Before arriving at the many locations that will be visited on this educational science journey, students will spend a significant amount of time learning about required to be investigated in this classroom with teachers and peers. This will enable them to successfully explore the sight they will see once the cruise ship lands. This commitment is necessary to make sure that students attain the level of science required for their science project, as well as to advance their scientific understanding.

Students will visit one location per month, allowing them to dive deep into the different types of erosion observed in that country - erosion by water, ice, wind, vegetation and human impact (students will complete a project on each of these topics)

When the cruise ships dock, it's time for the pupils to apply what they've learned in class.

To record their investigation, students are required to take notes, pictures, and videos.

Lesson: exploring different rainforest locations around the world 

# data[].attributes.body
The teacher will explain the new scientific terms to the class:
terms: rainforest, biodiversity, temperature and the composition of soil

Students will be put into small groups of 3 people. Each group will be given a blank world map and colouring pencils. Students must colour the areas of the map with one colour that represents one of the new scientific terms: rainforest, biodiversity, temperature and the composition of soil.

Once all students have finished, the class will discuss why they allocated certain terms to specific areas of the map.

This lesson will:
- deepen student's understanding of rainforests
- teach new scientific terms

Materials needed:
- blank world map, one for each student
- pencils
- labels of scientific terms
- colouring pencils
- map of topical rainforest

This specific science cruise is for students in grade 3-5. Students will undertake a group project in each country they visit, one project will be completed per month over the duration of the first semester.

Project areas:
- erosion by water, ice, wind, vegetation and human impact (students will complete a project on each of these topics)

The following standard will be covered by the group project:

4-ESS2-1 Earth's Systems

Make observations and/or measurements to provide evidence of the effects of weathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation.

Performance Expectation

Grade: 3-5

The consequences of weathering and the speed of erosion will be covered in daily science classes with the ship's instructors. In addition to the numerous factors that can contribute to erosion: specifically the elements of water, ice, wind, and vegetation this semester.

Each place that the educational cruise ship stops at will provide pupils the chance to see the subjects and regions they have been studying in real life, allowing the student to put what is being learned into practice. The knowledge learned will subsequently be utilized by the students to continue working on the project. At the end of the semester, students will be graded on the projects created and will present their learning by a presentation.

It is essential that this educational experience is inclusive for all students and highlights to students that science is for all!

- Serving the needs of all my students
- Incorporating diverse perspectives - videos or meeting with people
- As I teach, I ensure to make reference to scientists that are a good representation of what inclusive science should be. for instance, through the use of posters in the space and referencing a wide variety of people
- giving students the opportunity to engage in paired, group or whole-group work where they get to share their experience.
- UDL teaching

1. During assigned readings
2. Classroom read aloud
3. Activities that involve the use of naming and categorizing
4. Projects that are completed by each student
5. Exposure to new environments and time give to explore

Student will be able to:
- understand and recognize the different types of rocks

Materials needed:
- small rocks and buttons

The teacher will start this lesson by position a question: 'what are the types of rocks we will find in the country we are going to visit?'

After having a detailed discussion about the possibilities, the teacher will divide the students into groups of four students. Each group will go to a table in the classroom. Using the sheets of paper provided, they must match what rock matches the explanation on the card.

After completion of this activity, students will listen to a read aloud about the different kinds of rocks caused by rock cycles.
