KS2 OUR SEA CREATURES
BOOK THIS WORKSHOP IF…. YOUR STUDENTS HAVE NEVER VISITED A SEA LIFE CENTRE
Invite students to learn about some of our core SEA LIFE creatures! Together they will dive into a world of amazing discovery to learn about three core creatures: sharks, jellyfish and seahorses – understanding their different needs and completing exclusive SEA LIFE quizzes for each. Students will think about the importance of animal welfare and use the core aquarium standards to create tanks for the different creatures, based on their understanding of creatures’ needs and happiness markers.
Students will:
- Explore creature features by identifying with core SEA LIFE creatures and discussing their differences
- Empathise with sea creatures and understand the need for animal welfare and protection.
- Understand the role of the Aquarist/Curator at SEA LIFE.
- Create a unique tank, considering key features including: shape, water flow, substrate, aquascape and appropriate tank mates.
