Students learn about a variety of ocean animals and compare their senses with a human’s 5 senses.
What keeps animals warm and protected from the elements? We explore different adaptations (I.e. scales, feathers, fur) and how they work to keep an animal safe.
Focusing only on penguins, students learn what it’s like to be a penguin, searching for food, escaping predators, and raising young.
Students meet animals, learn about threats to their habitats and ways to help.
Students explore the different levels of the ocean by creating their own chart. We also discuss the subject of light.
With a focus on types of plastic and recyclables, students build a timeline to figure out how long it takes for items to break down.
Learning the different vocabulary to describe sizes of a population (I.e. threatened, vulnerable, endangered, etc), students learn about the plight of some species housed at Adventure Aquarium.
Focusing on reptiles, students explore their adaptations and how they can survive in many different environments. For older groups, conservation messages will be included.
Students interested in marine biology, working with animals, or love aquariums will gain some insight into what it takes to work at an aquarium.
