 Dive right into the adventures of the incredibly rich underwater world! This camp is designed to introduce you to the amazing world of aquatic science in an exciting, inquiry-based environment. Research comparative anatomy by dissecting a shark and squid. Conduct scientific lab experiments in aquatic chemistry and biology. Explore the flora and fauna marine inhabitants at Casey Key Beach. Collect and then examine aquatic micro and macroinvertebrates under high powered microscopes. Experience the technology and scientific techniques used to explore the ocean floor. Program includes: • Field trip to Casey Key beach to collect fossil shark teeth and study the adaptations of sharks. • In depth comparative anatomy dissections of marine and freshwater vertebrate and invertebrate specimens. • Use advanced Vernier software and technology to test the chemistry of water by studying items such as its pH, total dissolved solids, dissolved oxygen, flow rate, turbidity, nitrates, and phosphates.
