Content: This is SeaWorld’s education site, which houses a modest selection of classroom materials and lesson plans.
Design: The site is all business, but retains a bit of the fun for which the parks are known. Because the bulk of the content is contained on a single page, it is also pretty bare-bones in terms of links or navigation.
Review: The material here is absolutely first-rate. All of the lessons are aligned to national standards and come complete with teachers’ guides and appendices. Topics are diverse, but obviously are anchored in marine science.
The lessons are a bit lengthy, but that is advantageous, since topics such as marine animal husbandry can be challenging to teach
Bottom Line: Users may only have to stop by SeaWorld Teacher Resources once in order to see everything, but that visit will be well worth it.
