Physical Distancing STEM Break with Ms. Meghan: Cavort with the Cetaceans

Did you know that your Galesburg Public Library card allows you to check out e-books and audio books through the Libby app? All you need is your library card and your PIN (your birth date in MMDDYYYY format) and you'll be on your way to reading on your phone or tablet!

I'll be pairing up Libby books for GPL patrons with STEM activities, live webcams, educational programs, and citizen science projects.

So, let's go

Cavort with the Cetaceans!

Dolphins and whales are intelligent cetaceans that live in oceans and rivers all over the world.  


Read: 
There are a number of books about dolphins and whales that you can borrow from Libby, including Dolphins! by Sharon Bokoske and Little Dolphin by Sue Unstead.

Be a Citizen Scientist: 

Researchers in Canada need your help in identifying beluga whales! Beluga Bits is looking for volunteers to examine photos taken underwater in Hudson Bay. During the summer, over 50,000 belugas hang out there! Scientists are looking for marks and scars to identify individual animals. This information can tell them more about social structure, life history, and habitat use.
