Glenview - Day 2

This morning the students braved the rainy weather to hunt for marine worms at Pottery Creek. Later they learnt about the life, biology and history of the local lobster species.  After lunch the students split into two groups, one going to Sunbury Shores to learn about print making and the other group to the lab to classify invertebrates.

Students sift through the dirt uncovered looking for the worms.

Students took the opportunity to check out the Blockhouse while at Pottery Creek.

Students settling in to learn about lobster.

By using a dichotomous key, these students are able to determine which phylum the animals belong to.

The students also studied the animals in order to give a better description of what they looked like, felt like, their colour and size.
