Following the visit by the National Oceanography Centre to Cantell School in July, Abi, Matvey and Wilson from Year 9 had the opportunity to visit the National Oceanography Centre over half term and take part in the 'Day as a Scientist'.
Abi writes:
I had a very fun day at the Oceanography Centre! We started by boarding a small boat that had a wench and research equipment on board and sailed into the Solent to carry out some experiments. We worked out the temperature and salinity of the water and dredged the water to see what we could catch! We got to hold a starfish and look at other sea creatures and plants. We also dragged a net behind the boat to catch plankton, which we looked at underneath a microscope. After this we had a virtual reality session to experience what it was like to be on board James Cook, one of the research vessels. Then we had a short lecture about waves and tsunamis.
Matvey writes:
During the trip, I went on a research ship and inspected multiple different organisms that the crew had extracted from the seabed out in the Southampton Water. There were many starfish, spider crabs, clam shells and phytoplankton. I even got to see those phytoplankton underneath the microscope. After our 4 hour expedition, I went and looked at some bee species from Arizona under a microscope and even wore a VR headset and explored the 2 Royal Research Ships' helms. It was a great experience in which I learnt a lot of new things about biology and geography.
