Laval Senior Academy - Day 1 & 2

Tuesday we welcomed 45 sec IV and V students from Laval Senior Academy in Quebec to campus for a marine biology field course.  The first day was busy and exciting for the students as they sampled the benthic and plankton communities and gathered oceanographic data while aboard our research vessel the Fundy Spray, used microscopes in the lab to study plankton and toured the Huntsman Fundy Discovery Aquarium.

On day two the students conducted a classification lab using the live animals they collected the previous day, explored the diversity of life that lives in a rocky intertidal zone, helped to gather data on the invasive green crab and studied seaweeds in the lab.

Pictures of all the students adventures will be posted throughout the week on the Huntsman Education Department Twitter account, as well as here on our blog.
