Cabrillo Marine Aquarium Field Trip:

Location: Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, 3720 Stephen White Drive, San Pedro, California USA 90731

You can get more information about the location of the aquarium and other visitor information by visiting CMA's website: http://www.cabrilloaq.org/

It takes approximately 1 hour to drive to CMA from Valencia.  Please give yourselves enough time to get there and drive safely.  You can check the traffic conditions online before you leave so that you are aware of any traffic accidents or problems ahead of time.  A helpful site to visit for traffic reports is: www.sigalert.com

Date: Sunday, March 26

Time: 11:30am-2:30pm

Schedule: 
- Meet at the entrance to the museum (to the left of the wall shown in the picture below) at 11:30am.
- Check in with me when you arrive and pick up a copy of the handout you need to complete during the trip.  I will stand at the entrance to the museum for a while and check off your names from my attendance sheet as you arrive.
- Explore the museum on your own, observe the displays, fill out the question sheet.
- I will be walking around, answering any questions you have.
- Meet back in front of the museum entrance at 1:00pm sharp so that we can walk over to the tidepool area.
- Explore the tidepools for about an hour.

If you cannot attend the field trip with the rest of the class on the scheduled day, you may attend on one of the following days (note the times listed indicate low tide; you should arrange your trip so that you visit the tidepools either slightly before, or during this time):

3/23 - 11:16am
3/24 - 12:04pm
3/25 - 12:43pm
3/27 - 1:54pm
3/28 - 2:27pm
3/29 - 2:50pm
3/30 - 3:37pm
3/31 - 4:26pm
4/1 - 5:19pm

The aquarium sometimes arranges a guided tidepool trip (I think it costs $1) on the weekends when there is low tide.  
Please contact me ASAP if you cannot go during one of the alternative days listed above.

Suggested Attire/Things to bring:
- Wear comfortable outdoor shoes with a non-skid sole (you may get a bit wet walking around, so you may want to bring a change of shoes)
- Bring something to write with and something to write on.
- Bring a camera if you like taking pictures.  

Important Announcements:
- If you need to contact me quickly, call me on my cell phone (I gave out the number in class)

- Mention to the parking attendant (at the entrance) that you are with the COC group so that your parking fee can be waived.

- If you are a minor, there is a waiver form you need to complete.  Please let me know ASAP if you are a minor so that I can get you the appropriate form to complete before our field trip.

- You can access a copy of the question sheet that you need to fill out by clicking here.  I will have hard copies of this handout with me on Sunday, but if you are going to attend a make-up field trip, be sure to print out a copy of this handout and bring it with you to complete.
Note: You can earn up to 10 extra credit points on this field trip.  Read the instructions on the handout for details.
