Description:
Join us for our LIVE Smiley the Shark Program. In this program students will be introduced to the importance of food chains in the ocean. When different elements are removed, students will see the food chain shift and eventually collapse. Students will have the opportunity to observe animals from the Discovery Pool as well as our Horn Shark Touch Tank. Students will compare the animals to the animals in the book. Theemphasis at this station will be how the animals feel and how those textures help them survive and protect themselves. Next, students will examine the jaws of bony fish and sharks, along with the beak of an octopus, mouth of a sea star, and mouth of a sea urchin to compare the mouths in the story to real-life mouths. At the end we will have time for the students to ask an Ocean Institute team member questions.
