Always point the scallop away from your books...
unless of course you like wet books!
The students loved the rock crabs.
Fun at the touch pool.
Plankton bingo!

Millidgeville North School – Ocean Discovery
Today on campus we had Grade 6 and 7 students
from Millidgeville North School taking part in the Ocean Discovery
Program. As part of the program the
students visited the plankton lab and used microscopes to view the amazing life
that exists in a drop of seawater. The
students found lots of different types of phytoplankton and zooplankton on their
slides, including copepods, which are better known as Plankton from Sponge Bob! The second part of the program included the invertebrate
lab where the students were introduced to classification while working with
live animals, such as rock crabs, hermit crabs, sea urchins, and scallops. As a bonus the students were able to have
lunch around the two touch pools in the aquarium. Have you ever had lunch with a sea star?
