Turner Fenton - Day Two

On Tuesday the students from Turner Fenton High School spent the morning digging for worm specimens on Bar Road. In the afternoon they either went on the boat to collect plankton and invertebrate samples or into the lab where they either looked at plankton or tested the strength of the Green Sea Urchin's tube feet. In the evening the students had a closer look at the local marine algae in the lab.

Students study the area looking for signs of worms.
