    Create a color-changing reef and build ocean animals that move! Learn how scientists explore the ocean, build moving whale and shark automatons, and use color-changing clay to sculpt your own coral reef and play with temperature changes. Later, discover what it takes to become a marine biologist and meet deep-sea creatures.
