Class Topic & Learning Activity

Students will learn about beach erosion and its impact on the sandy beach environment. Be sure to bring your copy of the Florida’s Living Beaches Field Guide with you to each class so that you will be able to complete all the class activities.

 

Water or Beach Activity

The day’s activity will include performing a surveying activity that will allow the students to create a profile of the sandy beach.

Appropriate Attire: It is always recommended that you come to class prepared to get wet. Have your child wear his or her swimsuit, beach-appropriate clothing, water shoes and bring a filled water bottle.

Please make sure that your child wears the appropriate clothing for our class. If your child does not have the appropriate attire (i.e. swimming suit, water shoes or snorkel gear) to complete the planned activity, unfortunately he or she will not be able to participate.
