Laval Senior Academy - Day 3

This morning the students worked in the lab studying a group of totally marine animals called echinoderms.  They specifically focused on the sea stars and urchins in an experiment to test if the size of the animal effects the flipping rate.  Also, they studied the anatomy of the animals including some interesting features, the pedicellaria and the madreporite.  To finish out the morning the group went to the aquarium to watch the seal feeding with Snorkel and Loki.

After lunch the students headed down to the beach to gather data for a zonation lab.  It was a great day to do fieldwork with the sun out and little wind.

This evening the students will work on the graphs for their zonation project with their groups.
