Expedition Briefing...

Explore the depths of the ocean and some of the animals in it! You will learn about the structure of our ocean floor, tide pools, and fascinating marine life like jelly fish, sharks, and coral. The Ocean Ventures STEAM kit has hands-on career related projects in Hydrography, Marine Biology, Engineering, and Art.

Your Mission (5 separate projects including instruction):

• As a Hydrographic Civil Engineer, measure water depth and the contour of the ocean floor so ships and boats can navigate our waterways without hitting the bottom.
• As a Marine Scientist, discover why jellyfish glow in the dark and how they move, why sharks have thousands of teeth, and why tidepools are important to marine life.
• As a Coral Biologist, learn the types and colors of these polyps or coral, the algae in them, and their importance for food, medicine, and earth’s oxygen.
• As an Artist, create a clay coral reef, draw sharks, make a jelly fish, a shark’s tooth necklace & a seashell windchime.

For Ages 6-12 independently.

Kits include all material needed to complete projects plus step-by-step project videos and educational enrichment (Internet access and computer required).
