What Lives on the Sandy Beach?
Program Length: 3 hours
Day/Time Offered: Tuesday - Friday
Grades: K - 12
Location:
Outdoor - Cabrillo Marine Aquarium / Cabrillo Coastal Park
Program Cost: $350 for up to 35 students, $10 for each additional student.*
Month(s) Offered: October - June
Description:
Southern California’s sandy beaches are teeming with life, although much stays hidden to the human eye. As the tide rises and falls, different species, from those under the sand and water to those above it, take advantage of the food, space, and other resources of this ecosystem.
This class examines the ecology of our local sandy beaches. With a focus on local species, students will look for animal adaptations, as well as think about their own role in the health of this habitat.
It includes time observing live animals and specimens, discussion of habitat, tanks and animals in order to present a holistic understanding of the topics. Demonstrations may include a sand crab lab, observing sand crabs as they both burrow and feed, close-up looks at living sand dollars, purple olive snails, urchins, and more.
This interactive class relates ocean ecology and scientific understanding to observable phenomena through inquiry.
* Financial assistance is available for the Sea Search Marine Biology Workshops..
Our programs can be made accessible to all audiences. Persons with disabilities are welcome to participate. Reasonable accommodations will be made with prior arrangements.
Sea Search Marine Biology Workshops are L.A. City Board of Education-approved and follow guidelines of the Science Framework, the National Science Benchmarks, and California State Board Science Content Standards. |
