Turner Fenton - Day 3

This morning the students were divided into two groups with the option of studying the affect of temperature on the feeding rate of barnacles or completing a fish dissection.  Both labs were pretty cool but the barnacle lab was definitely less smelly! At the end of the morning the students had a chance spend some time in the aquarium and watch the harbour seals, Snorkel and Loki, have lunch.

This afternoon the group did the third round of boat and lab rotations.  The students were so happy when they emerged from the lab to see blue sky and the sun shining!

A water bath helped to change the temperature of the saltwater.

Counting the number of times the barnacle extends its cirri at each temperature.

A small fish was found in the digestive system of this hake.  Cool!
