Westwood’s AICE Marine Science 1 classes at MOA participated in a visible light experiment in the Ocean Lab at Harbor Branch. Students were able to get a clear understanding of how visible light was affected when traveling through the different depths of oceanic water. Through this fun and hands on lab experience, students were able to explain which colors would be most effective at camouflaging oceanic organisms at different depths of the ocean. They were able to walk out from the activity explaining why most marine deep sea organisms do not have traditional color vision.

Fort Pierce Westwood’s MOA Biology students partnered with Harbor Branch and applied Mark – Recapture methods to estimate field populations of snails. The snail populations were sampled to estimate abundance with the Lincoln – Petersen method by visiting the study site twice. The students got the opportunity to be involved in a field study which involved data analysis and graphing.

Cobra Nation fans have been coming out to celebrate in a big way, before and during the game for fellowship and festivities. Thank you to Athletics, Culinary, Band, and Color Guard for their dedication to making a successful season. Stay tuned into … Read More
