The 10th cohort of marine scientists write their IB exam

May 3, 2019

I just realized that once this group of 40 students have completed Paper 2 of their IB exam (one hour from now!), there will be 10 year groups of marine scientists educated at Pearson College! All part of my master plan to spread the word far and wide about the importance of understanding and protecting the ocean. Congratulations year 44 Marine Science students and remember that what you have learned will always be in your hearts!

Investigating the properties of seawater 2017

January 29, 2017

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!
