GALLERY: Foundation Academy students dissect sea cucumbers

Foundation Academy

Foundation Academy seventh-graders in Dawn Norat’s science class got an inside view of sea cucumbers during a recent dissection exercise.

During the lesson, the students identified the digestive system, respiratory track and other body parts of the aquatic invertebrate. This hands-on experiment allowed the students to encounter science for themselves and learn to put their science skills into practice.

This activity prepared them for Sea Camp, an upcoming overnight field trip to Big Pine Key.
