This program focuses on the scientific method and allows students to identify and practice the skills needed to design and complete an experiment. The class will be able to study living animals and observe their behaviour in response to various stimuli, like food, habitat, or changes in light.

Students will practice asking questions about their observations and imagine ways that they can investigate their own inquiries based on the resources provided. After the experiment is complete, students will present their findings and discuss some of the challenges that scientists face when studying live animals.

Finally, Ocean Wise Educators will introduce some of the research that is taking place at the Vancouver Aquarium and offsite, like the marine mammal studies on feeding preferences and communication, as well as the Plastics Lab.
