8th Grade Field Trip

8th - Science, Key Largo Trip, Key Largo, Florida

      Coordinator—Debra Adkins   Five days and nights

Each spring, the eighth grade class participates in a marine ecology program developed by MarineLab, owned and operated by the non-profit organization, Marine Resources Development Foundation.  The site offers easy access to seagrass, mangroves, and the only coral reef off the continental United States.  Through hands-on investigation and snorkeling field trips, preceded by biologist-led discussions focusing on the ecology and biology of these unique communities, students are provided learning opportunities that extend far beyond the classroom.
