FISH ADAPTATIONS LAB
In this hands-on lab, students will study fish (including sharks, skates and rays) anatomy and behavior. Observations and discussion will occur regarding adaptations that allow fish to flourish in specific environments. Students will explore the differences between the three different classes of fish: Agnatha, Chondrichthyes and Osteichthyes.
INVERTEBRATE LAB
In this lab students will be introduced to the major phyla of local marine invertebrates. Students will explore these animals’ characteristics and adaptations through the use of a variety of live and preserved specimens.
SEINING IN MISSION BAY
Students are taught to work a long collecting net called a seine, and from the beach, attempt to catch some local, inshore marine life. Once caught, specimens are placed in buckets and instructors teach about them and their habitat. All animals are returned at the end of the session.
