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: Did you know that migrating animals and humans share a surprising amount of navigational methods? In the beginning of the program, students will choose one of the featured animals who migrates through the Atlantic Ocean and/or Chesapeake Bay. Students will follow that animal throughout the presentation, noting navigational tools and migration stories. Students will also create a mental map and discover more about compasses and other common tools and methods used in navigation. At the end of the program, students will be tasked with developing a game idea/design that can help teach people about the challenges and solutions of successful animal migration and healthy habitats.

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.
