While most of us are familiar with the large fish and invertebrates found in the ocean and bays, few of us think about some of the smallest organisms of all: plankton! In this workshop, we will learn all about what plankton are, why they are important, and we will even get to look at some under a microscope!

Learn all about a keystone species in the Delaware Bay: the oyster! Participants will learn about the importance of the oyster in the Delaware Bay, explore its life cycle, and will even get to observe its anatomy in a live dissection! We will then do an activity called “shell bagging”, in which we create oyster habitat that will be used to restore oyster beds in the Bay.

How do our actions impact the environment? How does pollution travel such large distances? What can we do to help? During this presentation, we will be exploring these topics by demonstrating different types of pollution, what they do, and how they get into the watershed. Then, we will discuss different ways that individuals can make choices to impact the environment in a positive way.

Everything that we do requires us to consume resources. We use plastics, metals, and wood to build the things that we use. We use energy to power our cars, our homes, and our electronics. But where does it all come from? What are some ways that we harvest our resources, and how can we make cleaner choices about our resource use? In this workshop, we will dive into resources and discuss the pros and cons of several different materials and power sources.

Come take a walk with us! We will be taking a short (approximately 1 mile) walk through our salt marshes. As we walk, we will discuss the importance of wetlands, what species can be found there, and some of the threats that they face.

What's in Your Water? | Science on the Bayshore

Water is all around us. It’s in our homes, in the air, and in our streams, rivers, and oceans. What makes water “clean” or dirty”? In this workshop, we will explore some of the chemical properties of our water, including temperature, turbidity, pH, nitrate, phosphate, and oxygen. Participants will learn how we test these parameters, and will get to try their hand at conducting these tests on water from the river!

Adaptations | Science on the Bayshore

There are millions of species of animals in the world, and each one of them has special adaptations to set them apart from all the rest. From physical adaptations such as beaks, claws, and blubber, to behavioral adaptations such as pack hunting and hiding, there are tons of ways that animals have evolved to get ahead. During this workshop we will explore some of the behaviors and physical characteristics of predator and prey animals, using our local wetlands inhabitants as examples.

Moon Phases & Tides | Science on the Bayshore

Why does the moon look different each night? What causes the tides to rise and fall, and how does the moon affect this process? How does this affect the plants and animals that live along the coast? We will explore these questions and more using hands-on props to explain moon phases and tides.

Learn all about the Bayshore’s birds! Each bird species is unique and has special adaptations to fill its niche in the ecosystem. Participants will learn about different beak, body, and feet shapes, and try using different pieces to build a bird of their own. After that, we will take a short walk out into the marshes to look at birds in real life!
