Secret Songs of the Sea with Tim Gordon
In this Live Lesson, learners will meet Tim Gordon and learn all about the amazing sounds of the sea.
Do clownfish have ears? Can cod talk to each other? What does it sound like when a fish farts underwater? Come and discover a new world with marine biologist Tim Gordon, who studies the amazing sounds of the sea. His research has taken him from the Arctic Ocean to the Great Barrier Reef, where he eavesdrops on the amazing sounds made by whales, dolphins, fish and even shrimps.
Join Tim to learn about the language of the underwater world. He’ll teach you about how underwater animals use sound to communicate, alert others about danger, sing love songs, fight their rivals and find a place to live. With stories from around the world, he’ll explore why sound is such an important part of healthy oceans, and how scientists are learning to protect these wonderful ecosystems. You’ll never look at – or listen to – a fish in quite the same way again!
