 This program is part of our LiteraSEA series, which examines the connections between science and children’s literature, focusing on separating fact from fiction. In the book Big Al by Andrew Clements, Big Al the fish engages students as he searches for friends. Students will learn about the habitats of Big Al and his ocean friends, and even meet a few of them in our Discovery Pool touch tank. They’ll learn how these animals use camoflauge and adaptations to survive. They’ll also learn about the different feeding stratagies of fish and how humans effect the ocean through commercial fishing.
