Recommended for Grades 8-11
This program explores the Intertidal Ecosystem from the comfort of one of our classrooms, but your class should still prepare to get wet. Students "dive" into the Intertidal zone as they explore a variety of stations representing the different levels of the Intertidal zone. They’ll get up close and personal with live marine invertebrate animals, including sea stars, sea cucumbers, sea anemones and more.
This exhilarating and action-packed program will introduce your class to the ecosystems on the beaches of our Pacific Northwest Ocean. From there, choose to participate in your own beach investigation, putting to use everything you have learned in our classroom. The beach awaits your class just beyond the doorstep to the Aquarium.
Intertidal Exploration is offered over two semesters. Please see below for semester details.
