Water Wonders                                      Grades K-1

Water Wonders is designed to inspire wonder, curiosity, and marine stewardship in students by diving into the colourful world of marine animals.  This program provides students with an extraordinary hands-on opportunity to explore the underwater world by observing, discussing, and touching live aquatic animals in the Aquarium's following galleries: Wild Coast, Tropic Zone, and Treasures of the BC Coast.  Through this experience, the students discover that they can use all their senses to learn about animals and how to identify those with and without backbones.  They also learn about the importance of water and they pick up some basics about conservation: Everyone can do things to help aquatic animals!

The Aquarium was fabulous! The volunteers were very gentle, kind and knowledgeable. The program coordinator was great: helpful, pleasant and flexible.
