Little Creatures, Big Ocean: Family Workshop

The Hong Kong Maritime Museum and the Ho Koon Nature Education cum Astronomical Centre (Sponsored by Sik Sik Yuen) are delighted to present the ‘Little Creatures, Big Ocean: Family Workshop’, specially designed for children of ages over 8. This event combines a guided tour of the Marine Science Gallery with a ‘Searching for Plankton in Victoria Harbour’ workshop!

Originally designed as a fee-paying educational programme for primary school students in line with the curriculum, this event is now being held for the first time as a free family activity!

Parents and children can explore the Marine Science Gallery and acquire experiential experience of a marine scientist. Participants will collect seawater samples from the Victoria Harbour and use microscopes to observe the ‘tiny giants of the ocean’ – plankton – thereby gaining an understanding of ocean literacy and recreating the close connection between the ocean and human.
