Can you imagine what life was like in San Diego hundreds of years ago? Come see a real archaeological wonder found right here on the Sweetwater Marsh Refuge. Back in the science lab, students will become archaeologists and explore an ancient midden (trash pile) left behind by the Kumeyaay Indians. Students will even meet some animals that the Kumeyaay would have eaten!
Ever wonder what it means to be a crab? Get up close with crabs, lobsters, and other crustaceans as you explore their amazing life cycles and characteristics. Your students will be excited about their crabbing adventure down at the beach, the fact that they got to touch exoskeletons, and meet real live crustaceans! See Ideal Dates Here
Sit back and hear the tale of a shark’s life. Students will have a blast learning about shark adaptations and traits that help them survive various marine habitats. From kelp forests to open oceans, students will become shark experts on local species and YIKES may even get to meet a shark up-close!
