Did you know that our oceans cover 70% of the planet but only 25% has been explored?
Dive into the fascinating world of oceanography as we uncover how scientists measure the temperature of the ocean in our engaging activities.
Just like humans can show symptoms when they are unwell, so can our oceans and it is up to oceanographers to find these signals and determine what they mean!
Join us at our interactive exhibit and become an oceanographer for the day. Get hands on experience with real oceanographic equipment and you learn how to measure the temperature in the ocean.
Come and to chat to ocean scientists about the impact of changing temperatures for humans and animals.
