Turner Fenton - Day 4

Today students from Turner Fenton High School took time in the morning to mark Green Crabs, an invasive species, at Pottery Creek. This afternoon students either went on the Fundy Spray to collect samples of plankton and invertebrates, tested the strength of sea urchin tube feet or had a closer look at plankton under the microscope.

This was one of the larger crabs found this morning, at 7cm across the shell.

Students spread across the beach looking for the elusive crabs.

Everyone say 'Crab'!

Using the microscopes help to give a better understanding of the tiny creatures that live in our oceans.

Students were able to make their own slides from a number of sample of plankton.

Students played plankton 'Bingo', and tried to identify all of the creatures on their card in their slides.
