School Information
The Ocean in Motion (OIM) is a mobile marine science program that has been developed in accordance with the California Science Content Standards and is available to all schools and youth organizations in San Diego County. OIM is designed to assist teachers in their endeavors to communicate the importance of science. The primary objective of OIM is to inspire San Diego youth to become environmental stewards through a science-based curriculum. By engaging and educating students about their local marine environment, we will be giving them the tools necessary to make informed decisions about how to protect San Diego’s marine ecosystems in the future.
Qualified educators, experienced in the study of marine science, visit participating classrooms/programs (grades K-12) during/after school hours, providing interactive marine science lessons. Each class receives four, 60-minute presentations (one per week for four weeks) with a topic-related field trip opportunity on the fifth and final week.
