Chattanooga, Tenn. (February 25, 2010) - To introduce budding young scientists to the amazing world of biology, the Tennessee Aquarium will offer the chance to become “Keeper Kids” this spring, March 13-21 and April 3-11. Keeper Kids and their families will go behind the scenes to learn what it takes to care for playful penguins, feisty otters, beautiful butterflies and thousands of fish ranging from topminnows to toothy sharks.
Keeper kids will be able to help Tennessee Aquarium biologists and educators feed fierce barracudas, examine animals or experience many other hands-on tasks.
