3. Sighting! – Using science and maths to record whales accurately

4. Dolphin communication and underwater noise

What about the live teaching?

All classes taking part in our digital Floating Classroom can book a live 30 minute Q&A session, focused around working with whales. This session complements the learning and gives pupils a chance to quiz the experts and discover what it is like to live and work on our whale research yacht, Silurian.
