Saint John High Fall 2018

This weekend on campus we had the Grade 12 IB Biology students from Saint John High School. While here the students completed a number of different labs and studies using live marine creatures in the lab and on the shore.

Field sketches to identify intertidal invertebrates and seaweeds in preparation for the zonation field work.

Presentation by Dr. Ben Speers-Roesch, an Assistant Professor at UNB Saint John that is at the Huntsman as part of the Marine Semester.

Some of the students in the Marine Semester are studying mummichogs and their behaviour in the cold.

On the shore starting a mark-recapture with periwinkles.

Studying the zonation patterns in the intertidal zone.

Counting living organisms within the quadrate.

Does size affect the flipping rate of sea urchins?

Combining the classes urchin data to see if there is a relationship.
 
Independent study experiments: are urchins light sensitive?

Are seaweeds osmoregulators or osmoconformers?

Are green crabs osmoregulators or osmoconformers?
