Description

AICE Marine Science is designed to help students develop practical and theoretical marine science skills. Through projects, case studies, and practical activities, students are encouraged to gain a greater depth and breadth of knowledge, the confidence to apply their knowledge and skills to new scenarios, and the vocabulary needed to show linkage between various aspects of marine science. By using the key concepts of experimentation, the science of water, Earth processes, organism classification, biodiversity, and marine ecosystems, students will achieve a level of mastery in Marine Science to help them enter higher education.
