Park View High – Oceanography Virtual Loudoun

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

In this Oceanography course, students take a journey through the ocean world – the planet earth is approximately 71% ocean water. Oceanography is a discipline of science that records and describes the features of the oceans. Unlike the sciences of geology, biology, chemistry, and physics, oceanography uses a different approach and is a combination of these four sciences in the ocean realm; however, oceanography also involves engineering to develop devices that will take scientists to the depths and everywhere underwater. In this on-line course, students gain an understanding of oceanography through media-rich interactivities, videos, collaborative discussions, hands-on applications, scientific investigations, and real-world projects. This course counts as an Earth Science credit.
