Meeting Location

Meeting Location:  Frost Museum, 1101 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33132. Park in the parking garage under the museum. We will meet in the parking garage at the entrance ramp that leads up to the museum ticketing booth. The fee for the parking garage is $18 for the day, credit card only, no cash accepted. After meeting in the parking garage, we will walk over to the park next to the museum for our homework discussion. The park does not have any pavilions or picnic tables so we will be sitting on the grass in a shaded area under a large tree. If students do not want to sit on the grass, they should bring a beach chair, blanket or towel to sit on.


Entrance Fee: The entrance fee for the Frost Museum is $30 per adult and $23 for children 4-11 years. Saltwater Studies will be paying for registered students. Parents and siblings who would like to visit the Frost Museum will be responsible for their own entrance fee.

 

Class Topic

This month we will be discussing sharks. We will spend the morning discussing the topic and reviewing the homework assignment. For this portion of the class, we will walk over to the park located on the south side of the museum. There are no picnic tables in the park but there are numerous beautiful trees so we will be sitting in a shaded grassy area for our class discussion. Students should bring something to sit on if they do not want to sit on the grass. Students must also bring their notes from their completed homework assignment with them to class so that they can participate in the class discussion.

Homework Assignment
 

Water or Beach Activity

Students will enjoy a tour of Frost Museum where we will view the shark aquarium and perform a variety of observation studies.

Appropriate Attire: Students should wear casual clothing. We will not be visiting the beach so beach-appropriate clothing will not be required. Students must also bring their own lunch and a filled water bottle.
