Field Trips

Life in the Abyss Overnight

A Day in the ChaparralGrades 4-6
17 hours, $2550 for up to 45 participants ($2625 for Fall and $2650 from Jan 08 - June 08)

This overnight adventure combines our popular living systems lab/cruise with activities that explore the fascinating world of nocturnal and deep-sea animal adaptations. In the evening, students investigate shark adaptations, pilot our remotely operated vehicles, dissect a cow eye to look at low light adaptations, and visit the dock where our squid light attracts animals of the night. In the morning, students venture out to sea to conduct the investigations outlined in our living systems cruise with the added excitement of lowering student-drawn Styrofoam cups 1000 ft. to see the dramatic effects of pressure.
