This morning in the wet labs the Laval Senior Academy students conducted behaviour experiments on the invertebrates they collected throughout the week. Students had the option of four different experiments: testing the strength of tube feet of different echinoderms, studying osmoregulation in intertidal organisms, seeing the effect of temperature on the feeding rate of barnacles or determining how arthropods react to light.
Currently the students are enjoying the beautiful weather while exploring the town of St. Andrews by-the-Sea. Just before the students load the bus for the journey back to Quebec they will present their zonation projects and posters. We are looking forward to seeing all their hard work.
