Transcript Aquarium PowerPoint That was shown in class

The Aquarium Experience
• Education at the Aquarium is delivered with a fun,
hands-on approach that creates a memorable, personal
experience for children and their teachers. This
delivery, coupled with a focus on conservation, creates
an opportunity for behaviour change - instilling a sense
of stewardship for the environment. Thus, Aquarium
educators play a vital role in fulfilling the Aquarium’s
mission by helping children build emotional
connections to marine animals, teaching them to
understand the natural world and actively engaging
them in conservation initiatives such as the Great
Canadian Shoreline Cleanup.
