Clarington Central Secondary School - Day 1 & 2

This week on campus we have a group of students that travelled from Clarington Central Secondary School in Bowmanville, Ontario.  Day 1 and 2 have been all about learning how to collect live specimens and getting a closer look at the animals in the lab.
