Tide Pools!

This week, instead of sitting in lab dissecting something  for 4 hours, we got to head down to the beach during low tide and do some hands on learning. Despite it being windy and cold and even raining for a short bit, I had an incredible time. It was so fun to poke around and apply some of what I have learned in school to what I was seeing.

The journey begins

Walking down to the beach

Low tide

There were so many muscles, it was impossible not to step on them

It is so fun to play with the anemones! They grab your fingers





Spent some time bothering a hermit crab

And it started raining...

Post Rain Double Rainbow!!

To say the least, it was a very enjoyable outing. 
Unfortunately I now have to identify and write about everything I saw. School can be such a tease sometimes.
