For
the past three days grade 6 students from Harry Miller Middle School have been visiting
the Huntsman to take part in the Ocean Discovery Program. While on campus the students viewed
phytoplankton and zooplankton using microscopes, observed marine invertebrates
such as rock crabs, hermit crabs, and scallops, explored the animals in the
touch tanks, conducted a behaviour experiment with echinoderms, and had a
presentation in the theatre about the amazing life of lobsters.
It
was a great three days of discovery and fun!
Drawing and describing a blood star.
Measuring a Cancer irroratus.
Enjoying the touch tank even though the water is cold!
There are sea stars of many sizes in the touch tank.
Plankton bingo!
How long did your sea star take to flip over?
Lobsters are cool!
