Resource Guide

This comprehensive course of study is designed to be as challenging and substantial as it is fun. All grade levels can participate in self-guided activities that meet Florida Sunshine State Standards and coordinate with park attractions at Universal Studios^® and Universal's Islands of Adventure^®.

Lessons are designed to prepare for standardized testing like the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test, encouraging students to analyze, synthesize and evaluate information presented to them. Like the FCAT, the guidebook includes science, math and reading subject areas.

The complimentary guidebook includes pre-visit, in-park and post-visit lessons. You’ll find classroom activities and experiments that are both fascinating and enlightening. While in the park, students can enjoy Discovery Trail, a scavenger hunt-like exercise that will sharpen students’ skills in research, interpersonal communication, problem solving and more. After your park experience, challenge students to a comprehensive test that replicates the FCAT framework and completes the Universal experience.
