Aquarium on Wheels Pre & Post Materials
Dear Teacher, We are looking forward to your visit with Aquarium on Wheels . Our program allows your students to discover and explore the different areas of the Pacific Ocean. In exploring the different regions of the Pacific Ocean, they will learn about the importance of animal adaptations during the auditorium/classroom program. On the day of our visit, they will learn more about the animals that reside here in the temperate waters of Southern California during the live animal interaction in our mobile aquarium. In addition to our visit, we have prepared pre/post materials for your students. These materials will provide your students with fun activities that will enrich their knowledge of ocean life and challenge what they have learned during our visit. We have placed activities in the following categories based on standards. However, feel free to use any worksheet or activity that is appropriate for your current curriculum.
