On
Wednesday we had 14 students visit the aquarium to participate in the Whale
Week Young Explorers program. The
students started out the day touching baleen samples from a North Atlantic
right whale and a fin whale, as well as some porpoise and dolphin teeth. To learn more about whale species that
visit the Bay of Fundy the students made a whale tail puzzle (some were very
challenging to put together!), played Whale and Plankton, put together a
humpback whale calf skeleton (even as a baby they are large at about 5-6m
long!), played whale bingo, made a whale blow pattern craft, and played whale
pictionary. Also, at the end of the day
because the students were so good they had a chance to view the seahorses that
just arrived and are in quarantine. The
seahorses are pretty cute with their little, curly tails! Check out some pictures from our day below.
