- We retrieved traps we had placed the day before which trapped sediments in various locations which varied in the amount of sea grass present.
- These samples were examined and then processed for quantification after drying.
- Lisa gave a lecture on ocean sediments.
- Students examined some of the samples under a microscope.
- We traveled to the far end of the island to see bats in their natural enviroment.
- We went to a beach to obtain shell samples for later identification.
- We walked a half mile to a political rally that was to start at 7 pm. Because it hadn't started by 8:20, we left. It finally started at about 9 pm and is still going as it approaches midnight. (The music is nearly too loud even at a distance a half mile.)
An item I left off from last night. We were able to observe the craters on the first quarter moon last night. We also saw the rings of Saturn and probably its moon Titan. In general, the students are impressed with the astronomy part of the course.
I have been able to repair the telescope we are borrowing so that it is quite useable. More about this another night.
Below, see the pictures of today's activities.
