University of Maine Cooperative Extension 4-H plans this spring to offer an online special interest 4-H club on the science of sharks for children ages 9-18.
The club runs at 4 p.m. Tuesdays, May 16 through June 6. Required registration closes Tuesday, April 25.
The 4-H Shark Club will cover topics such as types of sharks, how sharks search for food and how they exist in the ocean with other creatures, as well as sharks’ swimming patterns and habits along the Maine coast.
Kyle Oliviera, a UMaine Ph.D. student, will lead the program.
The club is free and limited to 10 participants. To register, visit extension.umaine.edu to receive the link and at-home materials.
