The second half, we'll identify dune plants, birds, shells and whatever else we can find on the beach. You will learn how much salt is in sea water. We will find out and prove if we are more or less bouyant in sea water or fresh water by doing some simple experiments. We will collect and identify shells. How is a shell made ? Learn what a bi-valve is. What is a univalve ? Why do many of the shells we collect have a little hole drilled in them? Capt. Skip will try and answer these questions and more. Capt. Skip will also talk about crabs, jellyfish, dolphin, bull sharks, beach mice, butterflies, and sea turtles.
