Harrow Y13 Biology Ranong
Beep Beep, 5:15AM, Okay, okay I'm awake!!!
This amazingly hard working group of Harrow students got up before the crack of dawn to get started on their field work every day. The days saw students catching and marking mud crabs, exploring the mangrove forests, learning about life in the estuary, making transects along the rocky shore, and even counting everything they could find on the seagrass meadows. Using the University of Kasetsart research station in Ranong, the students calculated Simpson's Index of Diversity and more, the number crunching continued late into the evenings. A trip these Year 13 students will remember for life.
