Educational Visits
Get closer to our World's oceans
70% of the World's surface is Ocean, a big blue abyss full of wonderment and discovery. Unlock the secrets of colourful coral reefs, be a top rockpool explorer, wrap up warm for the frozen extremities of Antarctica, and watch our for those fearsome toothy sharks. As students dive deep, they'll feel a new sense of connectivity and empathy for the creatures that live within.
KS1-KS4 pupils have the opportunity to learn:
In Geography
- To identify the different habitats of the world, focusing on oceans and rainforests
In Science
- To understand that animals have different adaptations to survive in their habitats
- To define and understand the terms 'habitat', 'micro-habitat', 'life-cycle' and 'eco-system'
- To use classification keys to help group, identify and name a variety of living things
- To recognise that environments can change and that this can pose dangers to living things
Planning a School Trip
Planning tickets, risk assessment, logistics, itineraries, free pre and post visit activities and resources - we are here to support you in making sure your trip goes swimmingly and your students leave feeling enriched from what they've seen and learnt at the aquarium. Seek out our 'planning your trip' section on your chosen SEA LIFEs school pages.
Onsite Learning
We are on a mission to ensure as many children as possible can feel that sense of awe as the ocean washes over them. Take advantage of our exclusive (and highly discounted) school rates, along with optional add on workshops or talks. All schools are also encouraged to get involved in our Save the Seas: The Rangers Challenge, a free activity pack which turns onsite learning into real world action.
