Bell High and South Carleton High - Day 1 & 2

This week on campus we have two schools from the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, South Carleton High and Bell High.  These schools have formed a great partnership for a number of years and this year have brought 41 students to study marine biology for the week.  Here are some pictures from their first two days in St. Andrews-by-the-Sea.

Examining life in a drop of ocean water.

Feeding the salmon while touring the Huntsman Fundy Discovery Aquarium.

Collecting plankton from the bay.

We conducted a scallop or benthic drag.

Sorting through the items brought up from the ocean floor.

A brittle star.

In one of the drag we caught a lobster.

Exploring the beach at low tide.

We found lots of sea slugs (rough-mantled nudibranchs).

Most of the animals were found under rocks.
