March Break - Shark Day

Today we started our Young Explorer day camp by observing the skates, a relative of sharks.  Then we watched the reptile show in the theatre, with turtles and a bearded dragon.  They were both pretty cool!

In the lab we studied shark teeth of all different shapes and then made some of our own.  We also had a chance to feel shark skin and look at it under the microscope.  We did a craft that simulates the feel of shark skin.

We had fun playing hide the ice crystal outside with the walruses against sharks.

Tomorrow is our last day of March Break camp and we will be studying fish, including real salmon and skate eggs.
