Today the Grade 6 class from Grand Manan Community School visited campus to take part in the Ocean Discovery Program. The students were able to study plankton using microscopes, learn about classification using live marine invertebrates, conduct an experiment using sea stars and urchins, tour the aquarium, and have lunch around the touch tank. It was a great day and we were happy to have them!
Plankton bingo!
