Blue whales are an awe-inspiring introduction to life science and conservation — and to the many observation skills that help us understand the natural world. Dive deeper into a variety of hands-on and small group activities designed to broaden young learners’ understanding and appreciation of scientific exploration and wildlife at all scales, from exotic blue whales to your friendly neighborhood spider or butterfly.
¿Sabías que podemos ver el sonido? En esta actividad, los participantes explorarán las maneras de “ver” el sonido con un fotófono, un instrumento casero que convierte el sonido en patrones visuales.
¿Alguna vez quisiste ser una ballena azul lanzándose a la comida? Los participantes podrán hacerlo en esta actividad, donde explorarán cómo la comida les da a las ballenas azules la energía suficiente para migrar a lugares que están a miles de millas de distancia.
¿Cuánto mide realmente una ballena azul? ¡Invita a los participantes a descubrirlo!
