Discovery Kits
Check out our Discovery Kit themes on our website to learn more about each of our themes!
Discovery Kits are a free hands-on resource that teachers and educators can bring into their classrooms.
Each of our Discovery Kits includes “climate 101” information and discussion questions as well as a variety of artifacts such as: replica skulls, books, and interactive games that captivate students’ imagination and interest in the ocean. Each borrowable kit will bring ocean education to the forefront of young minds.
An information sheet is provided to guide educators through activities designed to spark your student’s curiosity about their role in protecting the ocean. To accompany our kits, Ocean Wise offers free "Ask an Expert" Q&A sessions to take student knowledge deeper.
Borrowing a kit is completely free and includes free shipping and return shipping to anywhere within Canada.
Kits are borrowable for five working days. If you would like to keep the kit for a longer period of time, please send a direct request to education@ocean.org.
Booking: Bookings must be made a minimum of two weeks ahead.
Booking Length: Our kits can be borrowed for five working days. If you would like to keep the kit for a longer period of time, please send a direct request to education@ocean.org.
Shipping: All shipping logistics will be completed on our end, and you will receive emails on shipping instructions and updates. We require the full shipping address where the kit will be sent in order for our courier service to properly deliver the kit.
Ask an Expert Sessions: To dive deeper, Ocean Wise also offers free, optional 30 minute “Ask an Expert” sessions! As your class engages with the Discovery Kit, take note of questions that come up and join an expert Ocean Wise educator for a virtual Q&A session exclusively for your class. Sessions are available every Friday. Be sure to add the Ask an Expert session into your cart when making your kit booking, or create a separate booking for it after you've booked your kit.
