Come Along with the zookeeper to Work
How do you actually take care of animals that live underwater? What do you feed a starfish, how do you feed a crab, and what should you keep an eye on when the fish are swimming around in the aquarium?
In this program, students follow along as one of our zookeepers goes to work at the aquarium. Along the way, students experience some of the tasks involved in the job — including feeding — and gain insight into what it takes to care for many different marine animals.
The zookeeper talks about the job, the animals’ needs and behavior, and what goes on behind the scenes. Students can observe up close, ask questions, and learn more about both the animals and the day-to-day life of a zookeeper.
Afterward, the class can explore the aquariums on their own and see what animals they can find.
