The night lesson was Marine Lab, where students were indoors learning about the marine life they may encounter tomorrow when we go to the Biddeford Tide Pools. Students learned about Invaders, like the snail and sea star, Synthesizers, such as algae, Sweepers, example the barnacle, Scrapers, like the sea urchin, and my personal favorite, Snatchers, like the lobsters! Not only did they learn about how the marine life survives and eats, they also learned the location of where each species lives in the different tidal zones.
Children were also treated to a skit featuring "Little Suzie" who didn't listen well to her naturalist before visiting the tide pools. Moral of the story for the tide pools: Dress in layers, be careful on black rocks because they are slippery, use three points of contact when moving about the tide pools, and remember to use the restroom before going on our adventure.
