Day 22- 7/30/10

Under the Sea

Group 4 explored the New England Aquarium, stamping their adventure booklets at various stations to learn more about aquatic habitats, overfishing, endangered sepcies, and global warming. In class we studied what it means to "go green," but here at the aquarium we thought about what it means to "live blue" by reducing water use and pollution. The featured exhibit showcased more than 80 penguins, and we enjoyed traveling through the different rooms to see different forms of aquatic life, from catfish to jellyfish!

"Myrtle is the oldest turtle here. She's eighty-something years old! And she's one of the biggest turtles!"- Mark

"There are macaroni penguins here. They tend to be leaders." - Michael
