Tiburón que brilla en la oscuridad

This program will explore bioluminescence and biofluorescence within shark species.  From a biological perspective, we will learn anatomical adaptations that equip sharks to act like undersea glow sticks.  We will dive into a discussion on animal behavior and hypothesize behavioral reasons for lighting up the depths of the ocean. This program teaches on physics of light absorption and generation as we learn about a whole other category of waves beneath the ocean surface! 

Learners will have the opportunity to participate in a chemistry experiment, engage in discussions that promote analytical thinking, observe biofacts, and interact during a PowerPoint. Model sharks will also be featured in this highly immersive class.
