Ocean Discovery - Barnhill

Recently we had some very excited students from Barnhill Memorial School visit us on campus to take part in the Grade 6 Ocean Discovery Program.  The students were able to take part in two labs; an introduction to classification using live marine invertebrates and a step into the amazing world of plankton using the microscopes.  Both allowed the students to gain a better understanding of their local marine environment.  The bonus was getting to have lunch around the touch tanks!

Learning how to use the microscope.

Can you spot the copepod?
