Below are some pictures from our adventures.
Searching for live creatures in the intertidal zone.
There were lots of green crabs!
Looking under the rocks.
We got to see how to tell the difference between a male and female crab.
Back in the lab looking at whale bones. Whales are vertebrates like us.
Whales are also mammals. They must come to the surface to breathe air. We studied the blow patterns of common whales in the Bay of Fundy.
Some whale have teeth and others have baleen.
Humpback whale food chain, includes phytoplankton and zooplankton.
Humpback whales use baleen to filter schooling fish, such as herring out of the water.
How big are whales? Let's measure!
Next week is our last Young Explorer Day of the summer. We will be learning about seabirds. Check out our website for more information.
