Memorial University and Champney’s West Aquarium, with financial support from the United Way of Newfoundland and Labrador, are hosting Memorial student led workshops at the Champney’s West Aquarium (Bonavista Peninsula) in July for children to learn about the rock we live on, the ocean that surrounds us and what lives within that ocean.

Memorial students will host four fun and interactive workshops:
3rd July – We live on a rock, ever wondered how it was formed and why some rocks are different from others. Hands on experiments and demonstrations will show you how and why

16th July – Splash into the North Atlantic! Learn how to keep the ocean clean, how aquatic creatures survive the cold waters of the north Atlantic and how fog is formed and participate in fog in a jar experiment!

23rd July – What’s eating ya? Ever wonder how sea creatures get their food? Or who eats who in the ocean? What about species that cause more harm than good? Learn all about marine food webs and the different roles that animals have!

30th July – Survival of the Fishiest – discover the incredible journeys fish make throughout their lifecycles! Learn about iconic Newfoundland species such as the Atlantic salmon and American eel, and explore the challenges they face during migration.

The workshops are free, run from 10.00 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. and adults don’t have to stay. Registration is advised. Contact Catherine at cwcdo8@gmail.com to register.
