Barnhill Memorial – Ocean Discovery
We’ve had Grade 6 students from Barnhill
Memorial School visiting the Huntsman this week to take part in the Ocean Discovery
Program. While on campus the students
explored the intertidal zone, got up close to marine invertebrates, such as
rock crabs, Acadian hermit crabs, sea urchins, and scallops, had lunch around
the touch tank, and used the microscopes to view plankton collected from
Passamaquoddy Bay. It was three days
filled with excitement and shouts of amazement and surprise! Hands-on learning at its best!
