Our SEA LIFE workshops provide a unique opportunity to honor, help protect, and conserve our world's shared oceans.
Our workshops have a cross-curricular approach, with particular focus on:
- Science (Adaptation, Inheritance, Evolution and Variation, Biological Processes, Marine Wildlife, Welfare and Conservation)
- Geography (Oceans Around the World, Ocean Habitats, Human Impact on the Ocean)
- Literacy (Comprehension and Inference, Reading, Creative Writing Inspired by Wildlife)

Approximately 20 - 30 minutes. $3 per student.
Sea Creatures
1st-5th Grade
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.
