The Global Education Program is guiding Cooper students this week to Key Largo! 🌴🌊

Students have been exploring seagrass and coral reef ecology, gaining firsthand experience with these incredible marine ecosystems.

They also completed a swim test using snorkeling gear and enjoyed some friendly competition at the volleyball net between activities.

To wrap up the evening, students participated in a hands-on water quality lab, testing and analyzing a variety of water samples. 🐠🔬🏐
