Ocean Discovery Kits Educator Workshop

 
 
Saturday, September 23, 2017
10:00 AM - 2:00 PM

Teachers bring students to the Aquarium all the time, but what’s another way to help teachers incorporate CMA’s ocean expertise in the classroom? Our specimen loan program called Ocean Discovery Kits!

The goals of this half-day workshop include providing educators with the background, knowledge, policies and procedures to use our classroom-ready Ocean Discovery Kits. Our specimen loan program for teachers consists of themed boxes. Each kit is packed with preserved specimens and bones, books, DVDs and a resource guide that includes lesson plans and classroom activities.

There are eight Ocean Discovery Kits to choose from:
• Marine Fossils & Sand
• Plankton & Algae
• Marine Invertebrates
• Sharks, Skates & Rays
• Bony Fishes
• Marine Birds & Reptiles
• Marine Mammals
• Ocean Stewardship

Workshop includes:
• Presentations by staff covering details on how to use the kits, including check-out and return policy and procedures
• Breakout time to view and look through all the kits
• Emphasis on marine biology and specimen care
• Opportunity for educators and museum educators to network

This workshop is generously sponsored by Boeing and FREE to all registered participants.

The Ocean Discovery Kits are designed to complement California Science Standards. Loan services are available to teachers and non-profit educators who complete the workshop held every fall at the Aquarium. Educators are allowed to check-out two kits per year for three weeks each. LAUSD pre-approved professional development opportunities for salary point credit.
