Unit Field Trip to Adventure Aquarium

Last week we went to the Adventure Aquarium. We saw cnidarians in a tank that showed of the Medusa's bio-luminescence. We tiger sharks which we were able to touch. The best part about the whole trip was seeing the biggest sea turtle and seeing the hammer-head shark. The sea turtle swam back and forth by the glass window, like it was trying to talk to the students (or trying to get out.) The hammer-head was interesting because it swam away from all the students when the kids ran up to the glass. Maybe the shark does not like all the flashes from the cameras. I also loved the little sea horses. They swayed back and forth on the sea weed and I don't think that there was a breeze blowing through the tank.The shark tunnel was so much fun! Having the sharks swim over you with their teeth out can make someone a little claustrophobic. There were man different types of sharks swimming all around in the tank. There was one shark that had a nose that looked like a sword. That was interesting to see. Eating lunch was fun. We got to see the sea gulls outside and we saw a bunch of different birds. I saw the sky line Philly for the first time, which was great. All in all it was a great field trip and the fact that I adore animals just made the trip even better.
