Students will experience a virtual tour of Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary and the UGA Aquarium in coastal Georgia. They will learn how Gray's Reef was formed, how the seafloor serves as a habitat, and how they can help protect the reef from major threats. 

Experienced divers and marine biology experts will be available to answer students' questions. Teachers and students can use the chat box feature on our website or #GraysReefLive on Twitter to participate in the conversation.

Fun Activities to End The School Year

The final semester is winding down and students are ready to mentally check out until the next school year. We all know that is not an option and that learning must continue until the afternoon bell rings on the last day of school. However, it may be time to switch it up a little. 

Use this blog to check out end of the year activities that transform the classroom and keep students engaged in learning those last few days of the year.
