Remillard compares a life-sized inflatable replica of a Northern elephant seal and a Stellar sea lion to students at Dorothy Fox Elementary.
Jenni Remillard, aquarium education specialist, has student volunteers dress up in costumes to help their classmates create a visual image of the differences between seals, sea otters and sea lions.
Third-graders inspect a table filled with seal lion, sea otter and seal pelts and skulls after a presentation by the Oregon Coast Aquarium's outreach team.
Students listened intently to the presentation last week. An outreach team is visiting schools in Oregon, Washington and California in an effort to make the aquarium accessible to students.
Students at Dorothy Fox Elementary School had the opportunity to experience an aquarium without ever leaving their school.
That’s because it was one of the elementary schools in Clark County selected for the Oregon Coast Aquarium’s outreach program. The assembly-style events make coastal and ocean education accessible to kids who may not have an opportunity to explore the Oregon Coast with their families or during field trips.
