We explore a variety of answers to the question “What is that?” on this episode. We discover how the sport of rugby can be played underwater, why the Lake Ella cottages were built, and what happens when migrating shorebirds come to our coastline. We also learn more about the WFSU SciGirls SciGirls Summer Camp program.
