On our trip to odiorn point about a week ago we took two busses each with about half the grade on each. We arrived at Odiorn about an hour and a half later, exiting the buses and walking down past the park, feilds and many other things. Then, most of the seventh grade walked down to where we could tie pool. We found many things such as a starfish, crabs, and many barnicles. Some people went waist deep into the water esspessally when looking at the drowned forest. We ate lunch then played on the plaground and feilds. Later the seventh grade spit back onto the busses and headed off to get ice cream. Bus 1 ordered, ate, and left first. I was on bus two and ordered after bus 1 then headed back to the scool arriving aroud 2:30.
Tides occur because of how the Moon and Earth are attracted to each other and because of the bulge that the moon can reach. This is where tides occur most.
The dry zone is usually dry and the water doesn't usually touch where there is grass, trees and many other things. After that there is the black zone which is rocks that are covered entirely by cyanobacteria, these are toxic. The white zone follows the black zone and consists of some of the same rocks covered in barnacles. This zone is wet about 30 percent of the time. Next is the brown zone that consists of kelp such as rockweed and knotted wrack. Deeper into the ocean is the red zone which is covered by water almost 70-80 percent of the time this zone is red because of the irish moss which many people can eat when processed correctly.
At Odiorne Point the seventh grade that goes to hopkinton middle high school explored the tide pools, looking for crabs, lobsters, and Barnicles. We saw more than we expected. Some of my peers found a starfish, a daisy brittal sea star, lots of crabs, and lots of kelp. The images below show a green crab, a lobster trap, a barnicle and a daisy brittal star.
I think I saw the most variaty in between the red and brown zone. I think this because almost everything the seventh grade found was in these two zones. There was also not very much variaty in the white and black zones because those were mostly just rock, barnicles and maybe a fue crabs
