Today the third group of Grade 10 students arrived at the Huntsman to participate in similar activities as the two groups before them. Each student had to chance to go on the boat to drag for plankton and discover other marine life as well as study plankton under the microscope. In the afternoon the students classified the collected marine specimens by phylum and also looked at the feeding rate of barnacles when placed in different temperatures.
The students waited patiently for the scallop drag to be completed.
This is the basket that is used to collect specimens from the floor of the bay.

Some of the specimens the students used for classification. These belong to the phylum Porifera and Mollusca.
