The team at the Marine Discovery Centre hope to connect you and your students with the marine world through our interactive excursions and classroom activities. Learning experiences at the Marine Discovery Centre are facilitated by qualified marine scientists and a cultural educator.
The Marine Discovery Centre is closely aligned with ACARA (Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority) particularly the cross-curriculum priorities of Sustainability and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures.
Before visiting the Marine Discovery Centre please take time to read through the information pack and risk assessment relevant to your class year level. Excursion worksheets are available to download and print to complete during your visit either on the marine trail or inside the centre. Clipboards are available to borrow but we do ask that you please provide pencils for your students to use. During their visit, students will discover the wonders of South Australia’s marine and coastal environments and the human impacts that may affect them. Specialised activities and presentations are available if your classes are focussing on particular environmental topics at the time of your visit. Please let us know when making your booking.
Following your visit to the centre, students can continue their marine journey with our activity sheets, lesson ideas and puzzles. Teachers and educators can download and print these resources to use as part of lesson plans, or simply engage students further with the marine and coastal environment. These can be used in conjunction with some of our information sheets.
These education resources are suited to:
- Kindergarten
- Reception to Year 2
- Year 3 to Year 5
- Year 6 to Year 7
- Year 8 to Year 10
Resources are comprehensive and engaging!
