Homeschool Program - Sharks

This morning the theme of the homeschool program was sharks!

With the youngest group we studied shark teeth and then made a shark tooth craft.


The Grade 3 to 5 students did an experiment to learn about air bladders and oily shark livers.  Then we took a walk to look at all the fish in the aquarium to see which we thought had air bladders and which might not because they live on the bottom.


The oldest students made a device to detect an electrical charge, mimicking the Ampullae of Lorenzini or a shark's sixth sense.


Some of the students hung around at the end and got a chance to see some of the fish being fed, including the halibut. These fish are awesome!
