Spotlight on Whales & Other Aquatic Mammals is the perfect way to help your students understand that human actions can have an impact on animals’ survival! At self-directed and educator-led learning stations set up throughout the Aquarium between 10 a.m. and 1p.m., your students will participate in hands-on experiences as they learn about the adaptations and behaviors that help whales, seals, otters and beavers survive, as well as the threats to whale populations. These special activities have been developed to support state science standards for Connecticut and New York. They will help your students understand the importance of interdependencies in ecosystems and show how changes in an environment cause some organisms to survive and others to die or relocate.

Note: There is an additional $2.50 fee per person for entrance into the Aquarium during these days.
