What is the structure of the course like?

The course is organized into 15 weekly modules, each containing five engaging video lessons, companion workbook activities, quizzes, and discussion prompts designed specifically for homeschool students.

How long are the lessons?

Most video lessons are 5–15 minutes long, making them easy to fit into your homeschool schedule. Each lesson is accompanied by guided workbook activities, supplemental videos or readings (when appropriate), and discussion or writing prompts that reinforce key concepts while encouraging critical thinking and communication skills.

Each new account will have full access to the program for 1 year.

Does my child need any prior knowledge?

Nope! The course assumes no previous knowledge of oceanography or marine biology. Concepts are introduced gradually using age-appropriate language.

Most families spend 1½–3 hours per week completing five lessons, workbook activities, and optional discussions. Families can move faster or slower depending on their schedule.

Is the course self-paced?

Yes. Students can complete lessons whenever it fits their schedule. While the curriculum is organized into 15 weekly modules, you may complete it at your own pace during your one-year access period.

What materials do I need?

Most activities require only common household items such as paper, pencils, colored pencils, rulers, and occasional inexpensive materials. Any additional supplies are listed in advance. A physical copy of the workbooks can be purchased through Amazon.

Are printed workbooks included?

Digital companion workbooks are included with the course + digital material product. Printed companion workbooks and answer keys are also available separately through Amazon if you decide to only purchase the video course.

What if I only want one topic?
