Aquatic Science

A cartoon-style illustration in the form of an S. There is a river running through the centre and running to the ocean in the forefront. Salmon, a turtle, a fishing vessel, aquaculture, paddle boarders, a whale, a shark, and some ocean plants can be seen. Trees, a farm, houses, a park, a road, and people walking can be seen on land. A bird is flying in the sky over mountains in the background.

Discover the dynamic and fascinating world of aquatic life and learn how humans interact with this extraordinary environment. A variety of programs and resources will help you explore the wonders of aquatic science to gain a deeper understanding of the importance of aquatic ecosystems and how they are vital to our planet’s health and well-being.

Learning Resources

Digital Learning Kit

The activities in this kit focus on aquatic sciences and were developed to complement programs delivered by the Atlantic Science Enterprise Center (ASEC). They were developed by Ingenium in partnership with ASEC and are intended for students in grades 6 to 10, however, activities can be adapted for use with any grade level or age group.
