Teaching ideas for a bottlenose dolphin replica
- Research the biology and ecology of bottlenose dolphins.
– What do they eat?
– Are there any migration patterns?
– Do they hunt in packs or singularly?
– How long can they dive for?
– What are the differences between the different types of dolphins in the world? - Listen to dolphin calls and compare them to whale songs.
- Research bottlenose dolphin’s distribution and plot these on a classroom map.
- Discuss echolocation in dolphins, bats and more. You can model echolocation using Lego Robotics too.
- Create a wall mural of the dolphins in their natural habitat.
- Have students make a diorama or a science poster on bottlenose dolphins.

-Greenvale Primary School – Big Science Big FunFizzics Education curated a thoughtful and hands-on experience for the children, incorporating practical, skill-based learning activities and followed by a science presentation at the end of the event involving liquid nitrogen. This was delivered safely and effectively, capturing both the children and the parents for the duration of the presentation.
