Grade Six Ocean Discovery Day 2

Today we were visited by two different schools.  The first was the final grade 6 class from St. George Elementary School and the second was a grade 6 class from Hazen White.  Both groups of students learnt about plankton found in the Passamaquody Bay and about the Linnaeus classification system.  St. George students also had a chance to explore Brandy Cove and hear an informative lecture on the local lobster.  We look forward to classes from St. Stephen tomorrow.

 
Students in the lab learn about how marine invertebrates are classified.
