Ever wonder what it’s like to be a microscopic critter living in the ocean? Now’s your chance to find out! Students will learn all about the different types of plankton, and their importance as the base of the ocean food web. After a lesson on plankton, students will venture down to the beach to conduct a plankton tow and then view them under the microscope! Research is sometimes a “dirty” job, so students should be prepared to get a little sandy or wet.
