The Gulf of Mexico (where the Texas State Aquarium is located) is a great place to see a sea turtle. 5 of the 7 species of the world's sea turtles live in our area! We will learn all about these sea turtles, and do a fun activity where we match up the sea turtle with what they like to eat. During the program, we will also meet the sea turtles of the Texas State Aquarium via live cameras. Students can then ask our turtle expert instructors all their questions while watching our resident sea turtles swim in their habitat at the Texas State Aquarium. No previous knowledge is needed; just come prepared to learn and have fun! Please Note: In the nature of live cameras, sometimes the animals will not be in view. We will supplement with recorded footage of said animals whenever possible.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to name at least 2 different species of sea turtle.
