The New England Aquarium is a Boston waterfront institution, and its four-story Giant Ocean Tank is seen by more than a million visitors a year. The aquarium provides many educational programs for school groups, including behind-the-scenes tours. It has a variety of field trip preparation tools, including a video on its site for teachers and students and a training workshop for teachers. It also offers a series of step-by-step lesson plans that teachers can implement in the classroom before students visit. The activities, such as “Get To Know a Fish," support state curriculum frameworks.
