From Classrooms to Coastlines

Marine Biology students and seventh graders from Brookwood School recently took science beyond the classroom with two coastal field trips. The Marine Biology class traveled to Florida State University’s Coastal and Marine Laboratory in St. Teresa, Florida, where students participated in research-based activities and explored Gulf Coast marine ecosystems. Meanwhile, the seventh grade visited the University of Georgia 4-H Center on Jekyll Island for their annual immersive experience in coastal ecology. Both trips offered students the opportunity to study marine life up close, deepen their understanding of local environments, and connect classroom learning with real world science.
