The Art of Motion

Lemonade Lecture - Pilots of the Deep - July 15

Today, we will be joined by a scientist who is best friends with many of our nautical neighbors.  Because he is familiar with where they live, what they eat and how they travel, we will learn about swimming with sharks, how to speak Dolphin and how to recognize the song of the humpback whale.  We will also hear how exciting it is to come face to face with many different creatures of the sea and what usually happens when you do. 


 

Tales To Be Told - Beneath the Waves - July 16

Our friend, Belinda Blowfish, promises some wonderful nautical tales about her friends who live in the ocean beneath the waves.


 

Creative Activities - Charmed by the Sea - July 17

Whether we go to sea in ships or just to the beach, it’s a good idea to ward off danger by wearing a special charm.   A visit to the Bay School will give you everything you need to make your own special charm, which you might choose to wear on your wrist or pinned to your hat.


 

Discovery Day - VA Aquarium "Window in the Sea" - July 18

 

A trip to nearby Virginia Beach will allow us to explore one of the best aquariums in the country at the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center.  At the Bay and Ocean Pavilion we will meet sharks, stingrays and other ocean dwellers who navigate through over 700,000 gallons of water.  We can also visit with the many aquatic animals that live in the Chesapeake Bay, including turtles, fish and a horseshoe crab in the touch pool.
