Carpinteria State Beach Field Trip

This week we had a field trip to Carpinteria State Beach, the students had many activities one was to look a Harbor seals. The students really enjoyed looking at then and for most students this was the first time they saw a Harbor Seal. The second activity was a presentation from a park ranger about the Chumash and how they used Carpinteria resources. After that students either did sandy beach monitoring, rocky intertidal monitoring, and explored the tide pools. Every student on this trip was excited since it was the first time most explored a tide pool. Many expressed their excitement to me after the activities. Here are some pictures from the trip.
