Charles P. Allen High School

The past few days we welcomed Grade 11 & 12 IB Biology students from Charles P. Allen High School to our campus. The students were immersed in marine biology in the lab and in the field. Below are some pictures of their adventures.

Gathering data and specimens onboard the research vessel.

Conducting a benthic drag to gather marine invertebrates.

Sorting through the animals collected from the bottom of the bay.

Toad crab

Finger sponge

Diversity of stars

Zooplankton & phytoplankton collected from the bay.

Diatoms and dinoflagellates.

Completing drawings & descriptions of the live invertebrates.

Enjoying the skate & lobster touch tank at the Huntsman Fundy Discovery Aquarium.

On the shore looking for green crabs.

Data on the size & gender of the green crabs is collected.

Does size affect the flipping rate of sea urchins?

Or sea stars?

How does the temperature affect the feeding rate of barnacles?
