Feeding Time!
New activity
Have you ever wanted to be a blue whale lunging for food? Participants will have their chance in this activity as they explore how food gives blue whales the energy to make migrations that are thousands of miles in length. They will collect "food" and then move their blue whale game piece through its migration path to the Gulf of California on a board game.
