Field trips at aquariums
Aquariums provide educational programs for students from pre-K through high school. These programs provide hands-on learning, science investigations, structured laboratory activities, and animal encounters. They are taught and supported by Next Generation Science Standards by Aquarium experts. Additionally, these programs include teacher resources. Students can access an online course, view a live presentation or download a free resource online.
The National Aquarium of the United States is a leading aquarium. It seeks to find solutions that protect marine life and human societies. Students can visit non-public areas to take part in narrated feedings. Teachers can also take free online classes at the Aquarium and access resources like printable art and crafts. Zoom technology also allows students to experience a virtual tour of China’s Great Wall of China.
Teachers also have the opportunity to take advantage of a free orientation. It takes approximately 60 minutes to complete and includes a brief overview of the National Aquarium's education programs. Instructors will learn to safely use the equipment, regulators, masks, and how air-share works. They will also be introduced to the various types of marine life as well as the importance of equipment care. After their orientation, students will be able to visit an aquarium and participate on an educational program.
Learn in the pool
Rangers not only learn to dive but also learn navigation and basic underwater searching techniques. To find underwater treasures, they also learn to use a compass and grid. The pool will provide a place for Rangers to practice their skills. Once they've mastered each skill, they'll begin learning to swim a mile in the water with their mask, fins, and snorkel. Rangers learn how to use basic first aid and how to recognize signs of stress or trouble while diving.
The first learning activity is to perform a front flip or a back flip under water, without depleting themselves. Another activity requires that candidates grab a mask from the bottom of the pool and do five underwater bobs. To fail to complete a full bob, you will need to drop the mask or break the restraints.
