Class List
 * ===Unit Overview=== ||
 * You're lost on a deserted island, with nothing but the clothes on your back and your closest friends. How did you get here? Well, it had been decided amongst the group to sail out into the ocean to find the lost city of Atlantis, or at least have an adventure just traveling. While you had properly prepared for the long trek, you cannot prepare for everything (especially pirates!). That's right, pirates commandeered the sail boat and left your group floating aimlessly in the deep ocean. However, everyone was well prepared with their wet suits and floatation devices, so you were all able to reach the shore of a nearby island safely. So what are you to do? You no longer have obligations and all the time in the world to explore your surrounding and get closer to nature. There are different animals, plants and weather; all influencing each other in such a small space. But how does an island run when it's cut off from the rest of the world? How do you take in your surroundings and really understand the majestic beauty of nature? Can you see the interactions in a way that you're able to make predictions? As you spend more time on the island, you will come to understand and see the interactions between all of the elements and record your experience for all to enjoy. ||

Students will understand that exploration will give new insight on concepts and interactions.
