July 9: Marine Mammals
What makes a mammal a mammal? And how do marine mammals survive and thrive in such cold water!? Dive into the science of blubber and discover how this amazing adaptation keeps whales, seals, and sea lions warm, fueled, and buoyant. Through hands-on demonstrations and interactive activities, we’ll explore how blubber works as insulation and energy storage, and why it’s essential for life in cold marine environments. Perfect for curious minds of all ages with an experiment that is sure to cool us off!
