A new month - And 30 ways to explore the science around you!

Welcome to the Virtual Science Education blog post. Sometimes we need to hit the reset button and take a deep breath - after all science is supposed to be fun as we explore our world and make connections to everyday events. We're going to think of May as a Science Challenge Month - bring your A game and check under rocks, empty your window sill, freeze stuff and watch things melt. Let's science!

Humpback Whales have developed a hunting strategy where they circle underwater while emitting a continuous stream of bubbles - creating a wall that "traps" fish in a column of water. They then can converge and consume all of fish that are "trapped" in their bubble net.
