My child participated in online course talking about marine biology. During the class, the instructor talked about how sea water gets its salt from the running water from rocks and sand. Instructor also discussed the changes in pressure as it gets deeper. Student understood the concept and was able to complete the worksheet after the session has ended.

Science

• The child learned about the origin of sea water's salt from the running water from rocks and sand.
• They grasped the concept of changes in pressure as sea water gets deeper.
• They understood the interconnectedness of marine biology and geology through the discussion of sea water's salt origins.
• The child demonstrated comprehension by successfully completing the worksheet after the session.

For continued development, engage the child in hands-on activities such as creating a model of the ocean floor to understand the changes in pressure with depth. Additionally, take them to a local beach or aquarium to observe marine life in their natural habitat and encourage them to ask questions about the geological formations and marine biology concepts they learned.
