Aquatic Sciences - Digital Learning Kit

A sea turtle is swimming close to the ocean floor. The sun is shining through the water above.

Make a splash in the world of aquatic science using our interactive activities to learn about the importance of preserving and protecting our aquatic habitats. This kit was developed to complement programs delivered by the Atlantic Science Enterprise Center (ASEC). Programs were developed by Ingenium in partnership with ASEC and focus on aquatic sciences. The activities are available for use to anyone but are especially useful to introduce aquatic science concepts to students before or after an in-person ASEC program. The activities are intended for students in grades 6 to 10, however, activities can be adapted for use with any grade level or age group.

How to use this digital activity kit:

  • Choose a presentation 
  • Test knowledge with the corresponding activity 

To support teachers and students through this learning experience, this activity kit includes: 

  • Presentation slides with background information 
  • Curriculum connections
  • Links to interactive online activities
