Family Science Investigations - Finding Your Way October 21, 2009

Sooty Shearwaters are birds that migrate up to 40,000 miles per year, the longest distance recorded for any animal. Early Polynesian people explored and settled the far flung South Pacific Islands without aid from compass or sextant. Whether you are a plant, animal or human being, every living thing needs to be able to get from here to there. Explore animal navigation, test your sense of direction and learn how to determine latitude and longitude, all in this workshop that explores the science behind navigation.
