The North Carolina Aquarium visited the Hospital School
today and students were able to see and learn about different species of hermit crabs (2 kinds), sea urchins (3 kinds), sea stars, and a horseshoe crab. Did you know that a hermit crab getting good nutrients from the
food it eats determines how fast it will grow? Did you know that horseshoe crabs have blue blood rather than red because it is copper based? Did you know that kids LOVE the aquarium?
Thanks to Healing and Hope Through Science for organizing this visit and to Kira and Sam for bringing the sea animals and teaching the class.
