Educational Programs
Gain a deeper understanding of science through Discovery Education at the Alaska SeaLife Center!
The Alaska SeaLife Center (ASLC) Discovery Education Department has a variety of exciting programs for educators and their students. Developed in accordance with Alaska’s Science Content and Performance Standards and the National Science Education Standards, our programs connect your classroom activities with hands-on, below-the-surface adventures in a world class research and rehabilitation facility.
Our education programs are offered year-round at the ASLC during our exciting Day Programs and our popular overnight Nocturne Sleepovers.
For schools in the Anchorage, Mat-Su, and Kenai Peninsula areas we can bring our Outreach Programs directly to your school.
If your school has interactive videoconference equipment, our Distance Learning programs are a great way to visit the SeaLife Center without leaving your classroom!
CURRENT
EVENTS
The ASLC Education team holds Ocean Sciences Club meetings weekly during the school year, with breaks for school holidays. Students in grades 7-12 are encouraged to attend; there is no penalty for missing meetings and it is never too late to join!
Students will engage in investigative and hands-on activities, meet researchers, connect to science centers in other parts of the world, make inquiries about ocean mysteries that intrigue them, and work together on new projects throughout the year.
The Ocean Sciences Club is made possible through the generosity of the Seward Community Foundation, Alaska Airlines, and the American Seafoods Company.
