Marine Science Center

We had a lot of fun yesterday at the Marine Science Center! We also learned a lot about ocean ecosystems! Here are some of the highlights:

First, we checked out the museum, featuring preserved ocean animals, skeletons, and shells.

Then, we did some experiments involving salt water and observed all the different kinds of minerals you can find in the sand from the beach.

Here's Mrs. Hayden leading an experiment turning salt water into fresh water!

Next, we learned about animal adaptations and looked at a few animals up close under the microscopes.

After that, we went to the wet lab and got to see and feel some ocean animals up close!

Finally, my favorite part - We went to the beach and collected shells, fossils, shark teeth, and anything else we could find!

Congrats to Jessica and Esther, winners of the best bucket decoration contest!!!
