Summer by the seashore


We took a trip to the seashore, Fire Island National Seashore. It was amazing. There are no cars so we took a ferry and walked to a campsite in the dunes. It was great hearing the ocean waves crash as I lay in the tent. We walked the beach and found lots of interesting things. This was a dead crab with small shells that had already attached to him. Even when the crab is dead he provides an environment for the small clams to live.





This next picture is algae that had washed up on shore. Can you see the round structures on the algae? Those are the air bladders. Remember those from our Algae unit? What do air bladders do?

Tell me what you have done this summer?
