Recommended for Grades 8-11
In this interactive program, your students’ will get their hands wet by investigating a diverse array of live marine invertebrates from local B.C. waters in our Wet Lab, a behind-the-scenes classroom customized for this experience.This unique hands-on program helps facilitate a new appreciation for local seashore life by introducing students to the characteristics that distinguishes local marine animals and the conservation issues affecting them. It also encourages students to consider current stewardship opportunities from a perspective often unmatched by the average school classroom.
In this program, students investigate and share what they know about the live marine invertebrates before them, creating a dynamic team learning environment. Knowledgeable and friendly educators help facilitate student learning and discovery but this is an inquiry-based program where your class' investigation provides the theme for learning outcomes.
Wet Lab Exploration is offered over one semester from January 9 to April 23, 2012. Please see below for semester details.
