Lentol Supports NY Aquarium

Through the support of Assemblyman Joseph Lentol of School District 14, which encompasses Greenpoint and Williamsburg, the New York Aquarium’s Education Department received a $10,000 local initiative grant for preparing students of marine biology. The Aquarium’s Aquaravan, equipped with an instructor, biofacts, curriculum materials and teaching tools, visited fourth and fifth-grade classes to introduce them to the behavior and biology of select animals and the ecology of our wet worlds.

The in-school preparation culminated in a “Super Science Day” at the New York Aquarium. Almost 900 students, teachers, Assemblyman Lentol and parents participated in science-station explorations involving invertebrate workshops, fish printing, penguin jeopardy games, chalk drawing, shark biofacts, and dolphin demonstrations.#

If you want Aquaravan to visit your school call (718) 265-FISH. Mention Education Update.
