Maximize the educational impact of your field trip experience by taking advantage of the free resources developed by the Center for Aquatic Sciences at Adventure Aquarium. Use these essential tools to engage your students before, during and after their visit.
THE BIOLOGIST'S DAILY ROUTINE FIELD TRIP ACTIVITY GUIDE
Our easy-to-use activity booklet is designed to engage your students during their field trip. They become assistant biologists as they travel around the aquarium, focusing on the science and math involved in taking care of over 8,500 aquatic species. The activities align with several PA and NJ Science Academic Standards, as well as Next Generation Science Standards (see inside back cover of the booklet).
STUDENT SCAVENGER HUNT
Our self-guided Scavenger Hunt is geared towards students in grades 5 - 8. The topic, Ocean Conservation, highlights some of the fascinating animals that live at the aquarium, their conservation status and what students can do to help and protect them from extinction. It is designed to slow students down so they can experience exhibits and animals more thoroughly, offering questions that encourage creative thinking and careful observation to answer.
