The 6th-grade students embarked on an enriching journey to Dauphin Island Sea Lab, immersing themselves in a week of hands-on learning and discovery. Their days were filled with exploration of diverse ecosystems, from the tranquil marshlands to the bustling estuaries, where they gained a deeper understanding of marine life's intricacies. Amidst the salty breeze and sound of crashing waves, they eagerly delved into the world of marine animals, marveling at the creatures beneath the surface. The highlight of their adventure was the squid dissection, where they wielded scalpels with precision and curiosity, unraveling the mysteries of these fascinating cephalopods. Through this immersive experience, the students not only expanded their scientific knowledge but also fostered a profound appreciation for the delicate balance of our oceans.
