This team also got to hang out at Blakely Harbor during one of the very lowest tides of the year. It's only during these very low tides that we get to see some of the amazing animals that live in the intertidal zone. They saw sea stars (seen in photo), limpets, sculpins, anemones, and much more.
Of course, there are always the unplanned teaching moments that often bring out the most excitement. here you see a student looking through the spotting scope at a juvenile eagle in its nest. What a fun surprise to have encountered!
Finally, this group tested the dissolved oxygen levels of Mac's Pond. They tested for other things as well such as pH and temperature, in order to determine if the Pond was healthy enough to support aquatic life. Ultimately, based on a comparison between the data they recorded and the tables in their journals, they decided the water was quite healthy.
