Ocean Discovery - Millidgeville North

Grade 6 students from Millidgeville North were on campus the past two days as part of the Ocean Discovery Program.  The students had the opportunity to study plankton using microscopes, work with live marine invertebrates in the classification lab, and spend lunch with the animals in the touch tanks.

This group had the special benefit of being the first this spring to study live plankton samples that were collected from the bay this weekend.  Check out the cool video below.
