In spite of the impending storm, this past Sunday in anticipation of the early Childhood Jewish Education Conference Science Through a Jewish Lens scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, a few of my fellow attendees met at Singing Beach in Manchester on the Sea.
Dr. Shai Shafir, the head of the Nature and Science education department and senior lecturer at Oranim Academic College of Education in Tivon, Israel, a presenter at the conference, accompanied us there. Dr. Shafir is a marine biologist researching agricultural and biological aspects for inland cultivation of corals. He led us along the sea shore as we discovered lichen, lobster eggs, seaweed, barnacles, grasses, rock formations and the squeaky sounding "singing" sand.
So cool, Tina! Hope you had a wonderful time. Sounds like a fantastic hands on experience!
