River Valley Middle – Ocean Discovery

Despite the rain and wind students from River Valley Middle School arrived at the Huntsman excited and ready to experience marine biology.  While on campus the students were introduced to the microscopic world of phytoplankton and zooplankton, worked hands-on with live marine invertebrates such as hermit crabs, rock crabs, and scallops, ate lunch around the touch pools, and learned about lobsters during a presentation with Genny in the theatre. 
 
Below are some pictures from their great visit.
