Pearson College Marine Science

Once again, first year marine scientists carried out individual investigations into the properties of seawater.

Many students did lab-based investigations:

Juan Diego

Emilio investigates the effect of salinity on adhesion

Emilio’s set up

Tamar

And a few went out into the field… Yeji measured the variation in salinity with location in Pedder Bay by kayaking (she got a bit wet and had her pants dried by Hazuki, who investigated the effect of wind speed on water movement). And Quni was prepared for the wet weather but as you can see below, returned to the lab in the sunshine!
