Description
Class Experience
Students will learn what species are seen on a whale watch and how we identify them. They will understand why whales are migrating and when. Scientists identify individual whales, so students will also meet some of my favorite whales that I see year after year. Whales have been my passion since I was a little kid as well. I also hope kids are inspired to find their passions and think about how to incorporate that into their lives!
I have led over 2000 whale watch trips over the last 25 years. I'm excited to offer this class here because I realize in so many place, it's hard to get to the ocean and experience this!
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
