Program Description

Event Details

Put your detective skills to the test & dive into the Greater Cleveland Aquarium where your class will become C.S.I.s (Creature Science Investigators!) for the day.  Your class will work in cooperative groups to research animals in four different aquarium galleries: Ohio Lakes and Rivers, Exotic Freshwater, the Coastal Zone and a Caribbean ocean habitat in the Main Exhibit.  Their investigation begins with a classroom briefing about animal basic needs by comparing humans to our fishy friends.After completing their course, students will be commissioned as official C.S.I.s for the day.  A set of “Creature Case Files” will be given to each group to set the stage for their investigation around the world to learn about our aquatic animals.  Each file contains a series of clues based on a particular animal’s basic needs.  Guides will read the clues to their group so students can pick the animal out of “The Line-Up.”  This program reinforces state standards and uses guided inquiry investigation. The ZOOM link will be sent out the day before the event.
