HIMB Microscope Plankton Lab - O'ahu
Hawai'i Institute of Marine Biology
46-007 Lilipuna Rd,
Kāne'ohe HI 96744
Upon arrival, the students make their way to our Marine Science
Research Learning Center where they observe the species under a
microscope. Students will explore the Kāneohe Bay Plankton Field
Guides to identify the different species of zooplankton found in the
sample. Students learn to sketch scientifically by drawing commonly
found zooplankton such as copepods, zoea (crab larvae), and
chaetognaths (arrow worms), while focusing on the organisms most
distinguishing features.
