Ocean Discovery - St. George

This week grade 6 students from St. George Elementary visited the Huntsman campus to take part in the Ocean Discovery program.  While here the students studied plankton using microscopes, conducted an experiment with sea stars and urchins, explored the intertidal zone, observed live animals in the lab, and enjoyed lunch around the touch tanks.

Check out some pictures from the program.
