Ocean Appreciation Week 1 – Young Explorers

Yesterday’s Young Explorers program was all about helping the students gain a greater appreciation and understanding of the ocean.  To help the students learn more about the different areas of the ocean and the animals that live in each area we played 3D ocean bingo, with marine creature tattoos being the prizes.  Then we collected some creatures from the touch pool to study.  Each student made field guide pages, complete with drawings, names, and descriptions of the animal they were observing.  Some of the students were very brave and picked up hermit crabs and rock crabs for the first time!  It was a great day!  Below are a couple of pictures from the program.
