Queens Lake Middle School students recently attended a field trip to the Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in VA at VIMS. Students studied oyster reef communities in the lab using microscopes and dichotomous keys. They also had the opportunity to explore the shallow water habitats of the York River. Some of the organisms that students collected, using seine and dip nets, are now kept in aquariums in the school’s life science classroom.
