Insights into Marine Biology: Expert Visit in Biology Classes

Dr. Lisa-Marie Braun, Head of the Educational Program MeerWissen and Senior Marine Biologist at OCEAN BERLIN, visited our school this year as part of their outreach program for schools.

The initial contact came through an email sent to our general school address at the beginning of the school year, which was then forwarded to me. I followed up on the opportunity and organized the event for all Biology Abitur classes, including Year 12 GK and LK as well as Year 11 students.

As part of the Year 12 Q2 Ecology unit, in which students study different ecosystems, Dr. Braun gave a presentation on marine ecosystems, her work as a marine biologist, and the importance of marine conservation and preservation. The session provided students with valuable real-world insights into ecological research and environmental protection.
