August 5, 2008 Molly Jacob's Invertebrate Class · 5 August 2008, 17:22 by Julie Loyd
Some of the plankton counters went to Friday Harbor Labs to talk to Molly’s Invertebrate students about plankton counting. We brought our June 18, 2008 sample with us and the 16 students, each with their own microscope, stared and counted. The majority of plankton were barnacle nauplii (larval barnacles), but since it is summer, there were many categories of plankton in the sample.
Afterwards, Molly asked us what we were trying to do with our baseline study. Do we have any questions that can be answered with a project that uses our skills and that we would enjoy doing?
We all recognized that that was a significant question, and will think about it.
