→ Chesapeake Bay Watershed Field Guide Kit (designed for ages 9-11)
Explore the Calvert Marine Museum exhibits that introduce the Chesapeake Bay as an estuarine habitat and watershed.  Learn the importance of water clarity for the health of plants and animals in the bay and experience hands-on science by measuring and recording water clarity, discovering a wide variety of animal adaptations, and reflecting upon the impact that humans have on the bay.

→ Sharks: Sink Your Teeth In! (designed for ages 9 -11)

This lesson kit is designed to align with the new temporary exhibit of the same name.  Sink your teeth into learning about shark dentition and what scientists can learn by looking at just an animal's teeth.  Working with 3D printed megalodon teeth, can you put the teeth in the right position of the jaws?

Scavenger Hunts

The whole family can join in the fun discovering many of the hidden pictures in the museum murals and using the poems with our unique scavenger hunts. Your adventure might include counting the toes of a dinosaur, telling time on a unique clock, determining the color of the jellyfish, or figuring out what shape are the windows on the school boat, the James Aubrey.  Print out the scavenger hunt of your choosing below and bring it with you to the museum.
