They may be spineless, but there is power in numbers! Most animals in the ocean do not have backbones.
Join us as we examine amazing invertebrates, like sea stars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers and others found in the classroom touch pool. By taking part in exciting activities, students will discover how some of these spineless creatures adapt to their watery world.
The oceans are full of unexpected predators. Learn the variety of strategies these animals use to catch their prey.
Take a close look at shark jaws to learn more about how animals’ jaws are specially suited for their prey. This class is a great way for multi-aged groups of children to learn more about the predators of the ocean.
