Maritime Aquarium
Posted by Carlene GordonThird and fourth graders recently traveled to the Maritime Aquarium for a day of fun and learning. We began our visit with a classroom activity taught by the wonderful educators at the aquarium. Students examined and dissected a squid to investigate adaptations that allow this mollusk to survive in the wild. Students identified the arms (with suckers), tentacles, beak, ink sack and siphon. We watched videos and examined fins and arms to learn how this creature moves as well. Afterward, students toured the aquarium to discover many forms of aquatic life and much more, including an exhibit on dragons. Students touched sharks, jellyfish and stingrays in the touch tanks and watched the seals being fed. We were even lucky enough to witness a seal named, Orange predict (accurately) that the Patriots would win the Super Bowl. It is always a fantastic day when we visit the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk!
