Virtual Programs for Individual students
We’ve scheduled eMarineLab sessions in spring 2021 for individual students to attend! Please see below for links to the individual sessions.
Life on The Rock: Marine Invertebrate Observations
Micro and macro invertebrates from a community that live on live rocks found in Key Largo inshore waters will be displayed. With guidance from the instructor, students practice close scientific observation and use these observations to create explanations. Plenty of time will be allotted for viewing of the entire live rock community (i.e. seastars, amphipods, snails, crabs, isopods, etc.) Two instructors per session. This is a virtual version of our classic "Rock Shake" lab. Fee: $12
Slow Racer: Plankton Morphology
Two MarineLab instructors will connect with students live from our MarineLab facility. Prior to the program, instructors will tow for plankton in the oceanside waters adjacent to our campus. Plankton will be discussed, the sample will be broadcast, and students will discover and make sense of shared characteristics amongst the plankton community. Students will then predict which of our plankton models will win our slowest sinker plankton race! Fee: $11
