Crestwood Prep - Day 3

This morning the students joined us in the lab to identify the different species of seaweeds they collected from Indian Point yesterday.  Then we headed out to gather data on zonation patterns in the intertidal zone.  This afternoon and evening the students will be pulling all their data together to make a poster on their zonation lab.

Also, this afternoon the students had the opportunity to visit another branch of the Huntsman called the ARC (Atlantic Reference Centre).  This facility houses a large number of preserved specimens of animals from the North Atlantic Ocean.  It was really cool to see fish from the deep sea, including the angler fish and gulper eel, as well as, a porbeagle shark head.  Some of the students even took part in a long standing Huntsman tradition and kissed the shark!
