Through the day we:
- had shark show & tell with shark skin, jaws, vertebrae and a fossil tooth;
- learned about shark senses such as the ampullae of Lorenzini;
- used flashlights to learn about the tapetum lucidum in a shark's eye;
- played a basking shark buffet game;
- identified shark teeth;
- used meter sticks and chalk to understand shark sizes; and
- explored the beach.
