The last day of the Introduction to Marine Biology course began with students in the lab conducting an experiment on the strength of the tube feet of the Green Sea Urchin, common Sea Star and Blood Star. Afterwards it was time to clean up the lab and return all the animals to the water just in time for the seal feeding at the Fundy Discovery Centre. The students then made their way up the hill to pack their belongings before lunch. After lunch it was time for the students to say their goodbyes with a promise to keep in touch.
How much weight can one sea urchin hold?
Tying the line around the animal was one of the most difficult parts of the experiment.
This colourful blood star did not seem to be able to hold much weight.
Saying goodbye to all of our marine friends.
A great group of students this year!
