Ships use SONAR to “see” the bottom of the ocean, much like some animals use sound to “see” where they’re going. Find out if there are any animals in the Schuylkill that use sound. We will investigate some properties of sound ans “see” the shape of the Schuylkill River bottom that was determined using soundings.

(Sessions run every 30 minutes.)
