Event Registration

Description:

This is a virtual education program offered to school groups. It is taught by educators at the Mariner's Museum Museum in Newport News, VA. The event cost is per login, not per participant. Multiple children plus their parents can participate for a flat rate. This class will be taught live, online through a virtual classroom platform. Compass is registered as the school with the museum, and participants will receive reminders and login instructions from Compass, not from the museum.

Description from the Mariner's Museum website: Earth is 71% water, and yet only a relatively small portion of the world's waters have been explored. Scientists and explorers around the world are discovering more each day utilizing special technology to reach the deepest depths of the ocean. During the program, students will review the different layers of the ocean, examine where animals and plants live and how animals communicate. They will identify how deep ocean animals have survived and thrived in harsh conditions through adaptations. Students will also dive into how humans have explored the ocean and end with a guessing game of marine animal sounds.

Note: Program content will be targeted to the 3rd-5th grade age range, but older and younger students will also enjoy the program and are welcome to attend. For families who track learning to state Standards of Learning, see the class description on the museum's webpage for standards covered.
