Today our focus is on our aquatic fishy friends! Fishes are animals that live in water and have a backbone and gills. Fishes range from tiny little sardines to top predators like great white sharks; and from scary-looking monkfish to elegant angelfish!
Extend your learning at home:
- Learn about the Sturgeon Harpoon Knowledge web;
- Dolph talks about how new species form and how they are different from each other, focusing on sticklebacks;
- Trout conservation is a complex problem worked on by many people, including Trish, Jared, and Kai;
- Learn about the Fish Collection at the Beaty Biodiversity Museum.
We’re thrilled to celebrate the museum’s collections during spring break 2024. From March 16-31, we’ll focus on one of our collections every day. Be sure to visit on your favourite day, but we hope you visit multiple times to see it all!
With themed colouring sheets, scavenger hunts, and activities we have everything in place for a self-led exploration of the collections. Investigate at your own pace throughout the day, and plan to join one of our half-hour highlights or hands-on activities featuring the day’s theme to round out your visit! Find all our Spring Break 2024 topics on the daily schedule!
The Beaty Biodiversity Museum reserves the right to change or modify programming as needed. Please note that the Beaty Biodiversity Museum is closed on Mondays and statutory holidays.
The museum is open to all ages and our activities are included with membership or museum admission on a drop-in basis. Children under the age of 13 must have adult supervision in the museum at all times. Please visit our accessibility page if you have any access questions!
