 THE FEW...THE PROUD...THE OCEAN MARINES!


 Greetings new recruits!  Welcome to the Ocean Marines!
 The primary focus of this website is to investigate  mysterious marine life while sharpening mathematic skills.  Train with Sergeant Sealy so that you will be able to identify specific freshwater and saltwater fish  and discover the underwater world of mathematical probability.  Then, dive into the mysteries of the Devil's Triangle and visit the "Fun and Games" page to test your knowledge of our marine life and probability!  

The training you receive in this website will enable you to become an officer in the Ocean Marines. Have Fun !

 Watch as Our Marines Introduce Their Site!

                                                      Theoretical Probability:
                                             the number of ways an event can occur
                                                   the number of possible outcomes

Marine Fish Anthem
lyrics by Mrs. Nichols (to the tune of the Marine Anthem)
 Listen as Our Marines Sing the Anthem!

From the depths of lakes and oceans,
Swim some mighty cool fishes.
They are weird and wild and colorful,
And they eat stuff where they live.
Some are small and weak and really strange,
But they're part of marine life.
We are proud to tell the facts to you,
That we've learned about marine life!
