Young Explorer Day - Whales

We had a lab full of Young Explorers at the aquarium today learning about whales of the Bay of Fundy.  Throughout the day the students played games, got hands-on with some whale items, made a craft about whale blow patterns and did some experiments.  It was a great day!  

We had a chance to see and feel whale teeth, baleen, vertebrae, ribs and skulls.

Whales have different blow patterns; humpback - bushy, right whale - v-shaped.
