Humpback Whales Come Alive For Students!
Online, February 4, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Humpback Whales Come Alive for Students!
On Monday, February 10, 2010 at 10:00 am at Westinghouse High School Westinghouse High School's Science Club will present a life sized inflatable humpback whale to Sheridan Elementary School.
The Westinghouse High School's Science Club volunteered to help Deanna LaSusa-Hotchner, head of Our World Underwater Scuba Show's Children's Program, build the sixty-foot long whale to educate kids about humpbacks.
The whale is inflatable so people will be able to walk inside and see its internal anatomy the high school students have designed and constructed. On view will be a life sized brain, heart, lung and baleen. People will be treated to the famous humpback whale songs while touring the whale, which is affectionately named 'Harry'.
In addition to learning about humpback whales the Science Club students was trained on public speaking and how to educate others about the whales. The Science Club will introduce 'Harry the Humpback' at the school-wide assembly on Monday, 2/8/10. 'Harry' will be showcased at Our World Underwater Scuba Show's Children's Program at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL from February 19 - 21, 2010. Westinghouse High School Science Club members will be on hand to teach other kids what they have learned about humpbacks and take kids on a tour of 'Harry'.
