Here are some pictures of "neat things" that have happened in some of my Science classes in the past. I have taught Marine Science, Anatomy and Physiology as well as Earth Science. Documenting environmental problems with trees leaning trunk problems dead leaf areas twisted bark vandalism insect intrusion Pictures by Brittany C.  and Carrie  L.     Rachel probes at the oyster; Jasa watches. Megan and Katherine get some advice from Sarah Phillips of the Federation. Caitlin looks intrigued.   OYSTER DISSECTION DAY! Marine Science students dissected live oysters with the help of  Mrs. Moore and the environmental educator with North Carolina Coastal Federation, Sarah Phillips. Buddy and Ash do a great job together!         Hunter is a natural.       Whoa! Richard looks a little disgusted!           TRASH TALKING..... Earth Science students learn about out regional landfill in Tuscarora NC when Allen Hardison, the CEO, talks trash!       OCTOPUS Dissection.....                                                    (Above) What the octopus looked like while hiding in the water (Bogue Sound) under the dock.  .....And no, we did not kill the octopus! It died there and the waterfront homeowner retrieved then donated the specimen to the Marine Science class for study.                  The octopus measured 4 feet from tip of tentacle to tip.    Peace sign? Perhaps.  But there was a beak with two movable parts.                  The octopus stuck to the pan!

Sarah Phillips from the NC Coastal Federation came to our Marine Science Class and showed us how to perform water tests.

Working on experiments in the field is the best! (see other  marine science pix with our oyster restoration project by using this link!!)

Doctor Walter Westbrook prepares to neuter an animal in the Anatomy class as Mrs. Moore assists.  One of the Anatomy students adopted the little dog after the surgery!
The surgery continues....

	The Earth Science classes frequently use the internet for research.  This is an image that is particularly beautiful taken by the Hubble telescope and posted on the NASA web site.
