Ocean Exploration Virtual School Assembly - Engaging Science Assembly

A humpback whale surfaces. Humpback whales are one of the animals we highlight in our oceans virtual school assemblies.

Our Ocean Exploration Virtual School Assembly focuses on a wide range of animals we have encountered on our far-ranging expeditions. From HUGE humpback whales to the tiny krill they eat, students learn about a wide range of fascinating sea creatures and their habitats. We explore coral reefs, mangrove swamps, and the open ocean during this fast-paced, fun, and interactive virtual program.

Stunning images and riveting tales of animal encounters and exploration bring the world’s oceans to life, igniting students’ interest in science, nature, and exploration. Students also learn why oceans are important and how they can help keep them clean.

Throughout the Ocean Virtual School Assembly students are fully engaged and immersed– from helping determine the size of humpback whales and giant squid, to sharing things they can do to protect our oceans. During the entire program students are encouraged to ask questions through a moderated Q and A.

Plus, students learn about the deepest parts of the world’s oceans and some of the mysterious creatures that scientists are discovering thousands of feet below the surface. The deep sea is one of the last great unknowns and a great way to spark students’ interest in science and exploration.

What are educators say?

Your presentation was excellent! It was very educational, yet fun and captivating. The students were eager to do and research more! This was by far the best assembly we have had, it was the most educational and inspiring for students. Keep up the great work!

Your enthusiasm and the knowledge was something the children picked up on, very infectious! The interactivity, asking and answering questions was a great way of developing the children’s knowledge and really encouraged engagement. Your Skype program was an excellent, practical and very real learning experience! Thanks!

Your assembly was great because it related directly to one of our units of study, held the students’ attention throughout, and also gave the students the opportunity to ask questions that they were curious about. We definitely want to bring a Wilderness Classroom assembly back next year when we study the rainforest again.

I didn’t want that to end!
Thank you so much! This was perfect for our ages and for all boys. The teachers and boys have all said how much they loved your presentation. I got pictures from teachers in the middle showing how engaged the boys were.

Thank you! We should have you again! Do you have other programs you recommend for this age group?
