Year 7 Ricketts Point excursion
Last term 7A and 7B went on an excursion to the marine sanctuary at Ricketts Point to gather data and learn about the ecosystem from Gould League Australia presenters. The students were tasked with completing a combined assignment for maths and science that included analysis and graphing of statistics, classification of organisms and ecosystems. \
In the photos show students gathering data using thermometers, light meters and moisture meters and using quadrat sampling to compare the habitats of seaweed and molluscs in the low and mid tide ranges.
Thank you to Suzanne Thornley (laboratory technician) who assisted with the organisation and transport of the measuring equipment as well as attending on the day and Edwige Kozinski (7A Maths).
