SEA SERIES

SEA (Science, Education, and Awareness) Series brings the marine sciences into elementary and middle school classrooms. Each unit of the series is taught over several visits, and involves experiential learning opportunities, such as dissections, water quality testing, contact with live animals, microscope work, experiments, and field trips. At the end of each unit, the students are sent home with examples of how they can help protect the ocean environment they’ve just learned about, translating their awareness into action.

Curriculum is developed by Aquatic Adventures, in accordance with California State Education Standards. The program incorporates language arts, math, and social studies into the activities. Classroom teachers are provided with a lending library and additional curricula presented in thematic units, which are taught in conjunction with the SEA Series.

SEA Series is offered throughout the year, to schools across San Diego County. Low-income schools receive SEA Series programs, at no cost. More than 2500 low-income students participate in the SEA Series each year, at elementary middle schools including Encanto, Kit Carson, Kimbrough, Memorial, Montgomery and O'Farrell Community School.
