School Programs at the Sonoran Sea Aquarium

School Programs Introduction
Thank you very much for your interest in the Sonoran Sea Aquarium’s Education and Outreach Programs! We are thrilled for the opportunity to bring our programs to your school. We have created a variety of learning opportunities for your students, and we look forward to tailoring these opportunities to fit your needs.

The Sonoran Sea Aquarium Education and Outreach Programs are uniquely designed for students with dynamic presentations about the aquatic environments of Arizona and Mexico. Included in the classes are facts about the rivers and their conservation, native fishes, facts about the Gulf of California and its marine life. We carry a strong message of environmental stewardship in all that we share with the children. All of our classes are designed for a “hands-on” learning experience.  Children will have the chance to see, touch, and smell everything from corals to shells, invertebrates, fishes, bones, fossils, sharks and whale artifacts and lots of sand. Our education staff will answer their questions as they explore.

The Sonoran Sea Aquarium's Education and Outreach Programs are correlated with the Arizona Academic Standards in Science and cover a variety of topics that enhance classroom curriculum. Included with scheduled outreach presentations are teacher information packets with pre- and post-visit learning materials, handouts, and activities designed to make the most of a Sonoran Sea Aquarium experience.

Thank you again for your interest in the Sonoran Sea Aquarium Education and Outreach Program! We look forward to working with you and providing a wonderful experience for your children.
