Zonation was the activity for this morning. The students found a place at the low tide mark and using a transect line compiled data as they moved up the beach to the high tide mark. The students collected information about the type and number of animals found, the type and percentage covered of seaweed as well as recorded the topography of the beach. Later on in the day the students will graph their findings and tomorrow will present these to the rest of the group. Also this afternoon Crestwood students will be touring the Atlantic Reference Centre (ARC).
Students begin their measurements as close to the low tide line as possible.
These students have worked out a system in which each person has a job to do; some measure, some count and others record.
The tide was slowly creeping up behind the groups as they worked.
These students are measuring the change in elevation.
There is a significant climb coming up for these students. Note where the shadows are.
Here Mr. Podlovics supervises the measurement of this steep change in elevation.
