SESSION 1 – WELCOME TO THE OCEANARIUM
Join us at the Oceanarium for an introductory session! During this first session, students will receive a comprehensive overview of our facility, meet some of the incredible animals on display, and learn about the unique salt marsh ecosystem surrounding the Oceanarium. Whether you have visited 100 times or this is your very first visit, this session brings together students, families, and educators to explore the importance of engaging with local environments. Consider this a get-to-know-you session!
Attention homeschoolers! You’re invited to Homeschool Days at the Oceanarium. Bring your curiosity, questions, and a snack for an interactive tour and program. There will be 3 sessions this fall. Each session, you will accompany our lead aquarist, Ben Segee, for a hands-on tour. The fun starts at 9:30 am, so please arrive 15 minutes early to ensure a promt start. All tours include a 10-minute break at the halfway point. Tour/program content for each session will be provided in the discussion section of the event. All programming strives to meet NGSS standards, foster exploration, and further understanding of the included topic areas.
