Week 4 - Tuesday August 22nd
Hi YELP Leaders and Parents!
Today was a great 2nd day with the YELP program!
What did we do today?
- We started off our day in the tropics gallery conducting scientific animal observations!
- The leaders then embarked on an immersive 4D experience, and watched our newest 4D Show - Coastal Predators.
- Before lunch, we headed into the Wet Lab to touch some amazing invertebrates! We discovered how scientists group together animals by the traits that they share.
- Right after lunch we made our way down to the beach for some exploring! We found sea stars, sea urchins, and many crabs!
- For our last activity, the YELPers leadership skills were put to the test. They were given the task of leading a Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup with our younger AquaCamp participants tomorrow, so they spent the afternoon planning tomorrow's GCSC! The leaders were very excited to plan their cleanup and are looking forward to leading their younger camp participants tomorrow!
Questions to ask your YELPers
- What animal did you spend time observing in the Tropics Gallery and what behaviours did you see them doing?
- What are the four different groups of animals in the Wet Lab? What are characteristics that differentiate them?
- What animals did you find at the beach?
