Ocean Habitats - Preschool & Kindergarten. |
Young learners discover how animals have a “home” too. Different habitats are discussed in a fun and interactive way. As an ocean critter, you may live in the sand, on the rocks, even under a rock. And if you like, you can even take your home with you, like the hermit crab!
Touching tide pool critters is included in this program.

Cool Camouflage - Grades 1 through 3. |
Exploring the reef can be difficult! Many marine animals rely on camouflage to blend in with their surrounding or to confuse a predator. The predators got wise too and use that same technique to sneak up on an unsuspecting mid-day snack. Children learn how different ocean animals use special adaptations to survive and protect themselves on the reef.

Symbiosis: teamwork on the reef - Grades 3 through 6. |
Working together works! What do a Clown Fish, a hermit crab, a wrasse, and a shrimp have in common? Right! They all work together with other animals to make life better for the both of them.
In this specialty course, your students will learn about symbiosis and some of the “team players” from our Hawaiian waters such as the eel and cleaner shrimp. |
For the safety of our animals, an inside air-conditioned or well ventilated room is requested on the first floor or accessable by elevator or ramp.
Two to three small salt water aquariums will house our animals.
A touch tank will be available with live tide pool creatures.
Considering the hands-on nature of the program, teacher and chaperone assistance is much appreciated.
