How does a jellyfish live with no brain, heart or bones? In Ocean Adventures, kids explore a new ocean theme each class with a live instructor, answering questions as they go, from the dark zones of the deep sea to how sharks and dolphins eat and live, or the stories behind famous shipwrecks. Every class leaves your child able to explain one big ocean idea, like why each zone holds different creatures or how people help and harm the sea. For kids who would rather be at the aquarium; each class stands on its own, so drop in any week.
Mapping the Ocean Zones Find out what marine biologists do, then explore the ocean's sunlight, twilight, midnight, and abyssal zones and the ecosystems unique to each.
Dolphins and Sharks Map dolphin anatomy and pod life, and compare great whites, whale sharks, and hammerheads by their bodies, diets, and habitats.
Jellyfish and Ocean Plants Explore jellyfish, creatures with no brain, heart, or bones, and discover how ocean plants support the whole marine ecosystem.
People and the Ocean Weigh the harmful and helpful ways people affect ocean health, and uncover the eerie history of famous shipwrecks.
