The student-centered science curriculum is characterized by hands-on marine science and uniquely focuses on Southern California coastal environments. It is multidisciplinary and multifaceted, introducing students not only to marine biology, but also to geography and geology, physics, chemistry, and ecology. To support teachers and homeschool education in the use of these curricula, USC Sea Grant provides teachers with lesson plans and in-person and online workshops with scientific experts.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        \n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--accordions \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--accordions\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      <div class=\"header-container\">\n\n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--section-title\">\n\n    \n  <h2>\n          Island Explorer Lessons\n      <\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--description\">\n\n    \n  <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below are links to the Island Explorers Curriculum.
