Something’s fishy in our aquarium... Let’s work together and use maths, patterns and logic to clean up the fish tank.
Ursula the Hag fish has slimed the fish tank! Djildjit the blue fish and his friends are worried they won’t be able to clean the tank before Ursula makes it dirty all over again.
In this introductory science show, students will use maths, patterns and logic as well as observation to help solve a fishy problem. It also introduces young students to the concept of being an audience member.
Students are engaged by friendly puppeteers and puppets as they make predictions about this slimy situation and work together to help our fishy friends.
