This morning the group is conducting behaviour experiments with the live animals they collected this week. It is organized chaos with five different groups working on a number of experiments; the effect of temperature on the feeding rates of barnacles, if size determines the flipping rate of sea urchins and sea stars, and how arthropods react to light. Once each group has completed their trials they will present their results to the group. We will see how much they have been paying attention this week!
After the lab the group will head up to Anderson House to pack and have their final meal together. I am sure there may be some tears on departure as this group became pretty close.
Thank you all for taking part in our course this week. You have caused your house mom only a little bit of stress so thank you for that. Have a great summer and hope to see you back again next year!
Cool barnacles!
Does the hermit crab like the light or not?
