Saint John High

Every spring students taking Grade 11 IB Biology at Saint John High participate in a day of marine biology at the Huntsman.  The students gather benthic specimens, plankton and oceanographic data from Passamaquoddy Bay while onboard our research vessel.  In the lab the students get a close look at plankton using the microscopes, study the taxonomy of the marine invertebrates and conduct an experiment testing the effect of temperature on the feeding rate of barnacles.

Below are some picture highlights from the three classes of SJHS students that were on campus this week.
