How does the lateral line work? Do carp like dark chocolate? Why don't cave fish get lost in the dark and who is the biggest fish sniffer?
The theme of FROV JU's Easter Children's University, which took place on 28th–29th March, was the world of fish senses. The children took on the role of fish in a playful way and tried to perceive the world around them through their senses. They discovered why a fish called an archerfish needs keen eyesight or how the Ampullae of Lorenzini on a shark's head work. They also learned a lot about their own senses, created a message in Braille writing system and practiced their musical skills. The tutors rewarded the children's dedication and skills in completing the tasks with the discovery of a sweet treasure.
Twenty-four children took part in the Children's University, and two more camps, this time a full week, are planned for August to deal with climate change.
