There is no better maritime outdoor classroom than Canada’s own Bay of Fundy. Twice a day the tide at the mouth of the Bay rise and fall eight meters stirring up nutrients that have drifted to the ocean floor.  Join us as we explore this unique environment and the diversity of life it supports. What we catch and collect is what we will study, draw, print and cook! Time is also set aside to share ideas on how to adapt our marine examples to your own classroom.

Discover:

*  the diversity of local ecosystems and their inhabitants

*  invaders new and old

*  St. Andrews by-the-sea past and present

*  ties to different levels of the science curriculum

The Course Fees cover: 4 night dormitory accommodation, all meals, boat and lab fees, admissions, taxes. You just need to find your way to the Huntsman in St. Andrews!!
