Lobster Young Explorer Day 2017

Today was the last Young Explorer program of the summer and the theme was lobsters. We also learned about other marine arthropods such as green crabs, sideswimmers and barnacles.

Searching the intertidal zone for arthropods.

The students found lots of sideswimmers.

Discussing how to tell if a crab is male or female.

Making field guides of the animals they found on the beach.

Playing the crab survival game.

The students made barnacle crafts after watching the live animals feeding.

Up close and personal with a lobster.

Arthropod jokes: Why did the sideswimmer cross the beach? To get to the other tide!

Thank you to all the Young Explorers that took part in programs with us this summer at the Huntsman Fundy Discovery Aquarium. For upcoming programs check out this blog, our website, Twitter account or Facebook page.
