How would you like to Zoom a Zoologist and Ask Dr. Sea a question? Sign up for a FREE one-hour Zoom (or Google Meet) virtual tour of the Florida Keys with Dr. Sea and his crew. Learn how to transplant corals, visit the Aquarius underwater habitat, explore a sea turtle nesting beach, and talk with a marine animal veterinarian about cool and unusual sea life.
This one-hour live stream online exhibit is FREE and will take place March 1-5th, 2021 at 8:45, 10:00 and 11:15 am. Time slots are limited so contact Dr. Michael Childress (mchildr@clemson.edu) to sign up your class or home school group to attend. Did we mention that it is FREE?
In addition if you agree to participate in our assessment study, we will send your class a set of 2021 SVF Student and Teacher Workbooks for FREE. Your only commitment is to complete the pre- and post-project assessments and online teacher survey. We will arrange pick-up of your completed student workbooks when they are ready.
