Explore hands-on, research-based activities designed to introduce elementary students to the world of aquaculture and how it connects to their everyday lives. We will share two curriculum, grades K-2 and grades 3-5, around these exciting topics. Middle and high school units will also be available. All lessons are aligned with NGSS and we will provide free copies for educators during the session. Workshop Session (all workshops will be 60 minutes) | |
