Sixth Graders Visit the Sea Center in Santa Barbara



Students modeled beach erosion and learned how the beach profile can change with  the seasons.

Students measured the slope of the beach.
At R.J. Frank Academy of Marine Science and Engineering, students are getting fantastic educational experiences.
Students are using their math skills  to determine the slope of the beach.

While one group of students was outside determining the beach profile and learning about erosion,....
......the other group of students was on the wharf at the Sea Center Aquarium....
.....learning about the ecology of the kelp forest and other marine habitats.


The students learned that bat stars, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers all belong to the same group of animals called the echinoderms.



Students even got to pet a shark.
