    Overview

    We’re DIVING into the exciting stuff!

    Shark Week will explore not only sharks, but ALL monsters of the deep. You might build scale models to get a grasp on the true size of these aquatic predators, examine real shark teeth up close, plot shark sightings against seal populations, and so much more. 

    What’s the beauty of a program like this? We’re not just going to talk about these sea creatures – we plan to bring real ones into the classroom. Prepare for a dogfish shark dissection, squid dissection, and a chance to hang out with any small reptiles and amphibians we can get our hands on. 

    This is a one-week program for rising 6th-rising 9th graders.
