Jaw-some Great Whites

*NOTE: This program is designed for Kindergarten through 5th grade. K-2 grade programs run for 20 minutes while 3-5th grade programs run for 25 minutes.

Join us for a fin-tastic virtual adventure at Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve to dive into the captivating world of white sharks and their incredible adaptations! Did you know that there is currently an aggregation of juvenile white sharks off the shore of Torrey Pines State Beach? We will discuss habitats, predator and prey relationships, and why we see so many juvenile great whites at Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve. Students will learn why this is a sign of a healthy ocean rather than something to fear.

This is an interactive program during which we encourage student participation. We ask teachers and other educators to assist in facilitating the program by calling on students and muting/unmuting throughout the program as needed. In the last 10 minutes, K-2 graders will need a whiteboard and marker or pencil and paper for a drawing activity, while 3-5 graders will be observing a science experiment with us!
