If you have a Field Trip opportunity for the year we recommend ourselves as the optimum choice. Think of it - You can have receive a series of classes on marine science in your classroom over the course of a few weeks and culminate it with a trip to our facility which is located within a block from the Pacific Ocean. You’ll get a chance to see even more animals at our facility and then do lab work in our gigantic outdoor lab - the Beach! Our program is designed to meet the California State Science Standards, particularly in the Life Science requirements. We can accommodate a maximum of 60 students and chaperones at a time. Check below for choices OR call us at (310) 318-7438. OCEANS ALIVE!
Children will study living and non-living products from the
sea with many opportunities to touch live marine organisms.
In addition to being a fun exploration of our ocean critters,
it is also an opportunity to put their sorting skills to good
use by classifying non-living versus living things and plants
versus animals.

WEB
OF LIFE
This two-part activity will show students how all animals are

CONNECTION
Help your students understand the water cycle and water pollution
issues through an exciting game and by studying maps of Los

your students will develop an understanding of how water becomes
polluted and what they can do to minimize waste going into the
ocean.
