What’s bigger than a blue whale? Kids’ curiosity about the ocean! Join Let’s Talk Science Outreach and Memorial University for a virtual session of interactive activities, with a focus on the opera singers of the sea — majestic whales — along with a hands-on experiment about how the health of itty-bitty creatures can affect even the creatures at the top of the food chain.
