August is named after the first Roman Emperor, Augustus Caeser! His name was Octavian but when he became Emperor, he changed his name to Augustus Caeser! Its like how July is named after Julius Caesar! #august #augusts #steameducentres

It's Mammal Monday! Dolphins are beloved mammals and some of the only aquatic mammals! The most amazing thing about dolphins, they're super smart! They have complex societies and very large brains, they are also really good at mimicking sounds! #dolphins #mammal #steameducentres

Today is Vinyl Record Day! Vinyls are flat discs that have little grooves in them that hold audio info, when played on a record player the needle traces the grooves and music is played! Vinyls are getting popular again and people who love music enjoy collecting them! 🎢🎼 #vinyl

Sound waves, like light waves, take time to travel in the air! That's why when something really loud happens in the distance, there is a delay in hearing it! Just like fireworks or thunder! πŸŽ€πŸ”ŠπŸŽ†πŸŽΆ #soundwaves #sound #steameducentres

For today's Mammal Monday we are going to look at Bats! Bats are unique mammals because they fly and they use echolocation! Echolaction is when animals make sounds to sense their surroundings! When the bat makes a sound the waves will bounce back to them if there is an object.

The full moon in August is known as the Sturgeon Moon! It's because during this moon cycle, sturgeon are easier to find and catch in the Great Lakes! This observation was found by Indigenous peoples and they created the name 'Sturgeon Moon'! Did anyone catch the moon this month?

Around 2,000 years ago (on this day!) Mount Vesuvius erupted and buried the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum in a deadly wave of ash, gas, and rock. The ruins of the cities were preserved by the ash and allowed for archeologists to study the remains!

For today's Mammal Monday, we are going to look at Whales! There are so many species of whales that exist all over the world, and they have many differences. But a cool similarity they have is that whales have multiple stomachs! Isn't that so cool? πŸ³πŸ‹πŸ³πŸ‹
