Science Workshops: Sharks
If you love sharks this is the workshop for you! You will dissect a dogfish shark, and learn to identify its characteristic body parts to better understand how it is related to other sharks and how it swims, eats and breathes. We will discuss external shark anatomy as well as the internal structures that make sharks unique among the critters in the sea. Dissecting a shark is one of the best hands-on ways to learn about this unique marine creature.
