Activities the students conducted throughout the day included exploring the intertidal zone, playing plankton bingo using the microscopes, drawing and identifying arthropods and other marine invertebrates, and conducting a behaviour experiment with sea stars and sea urchins. At the end of the day the students had a quick walk through the aquarium to see the seals, seahorses and animals in the touch pools. It was a great day with a great group of students!
