Splashing into Marine Biology!!

The 4th grade CCATS took a fantastic journey into the world thriving under the ocean and in rivers!! They were able to experience animals that some will never get the chance to see! Added to that, they ventured on a behind-the-scenes tour of the Weird and Wacky adaptations of aquatic life!! There was so much to see and learn!! To view some of our incredible fun, see below!!

They loved the tunnel!! So much marine life to see!!

They didn't know what to look at first!

Some were mesmerized by the moving sidewalk!

They had identification cards to use to find certain sea life!

Some were hiding and they had to look hard!

Love the tunnel views!

This super lady told the kids about pollution in the ocean!

They got to touch stuff! They always like touching stuff!!

Love these kids!

Beautiful backdrop of ocean life!

Can you spot the shark??
