Lesson plans can be adopted to align with school curriculum. Potential STEM lessons include: marine environments and wildlife, measuring the wind, buoyancy, sail area and perimeter, simple machines and mechanical advantage on sailboats, water quality testing, marine debris, upwind sailing angles, land and sea breezes, and wind power.
