Education Activity E-Workbook

Exploration through the creative process.

To enhance educational impact, SeaKeepers collaborated with artist Kelly Quinn to develop a 25-page e-workbook titled "Exploring South Florida Habitats." Tailored for 3rd-5th grade students, the workbook delves into environmental conservation and showcases various habitats and species, aligning with SeaKeepers-supported research through the DISCOVERY Program.

Upon downloading the "Education Activity Book Toolkit," educators will receive both the teacher and student e-workbooks. Activities encompass coloring pages, discussion prompts, quizzes, experiments, and more, meeting Florida and US science education standards. For flexibility, the workbook is suitable for home, field, or classroom use. An accompanying "Teacher's Edition" offers answer keys and supplementary resources, enhancing curriculum integration. Both the student e-workbook and the teacher's edition are freely downloadable for educational use via the button below.
