Grade 12 Biology Students Learn About Climate Impact on Oceans at Ripley's
Earlier this month, Grade 12 Biology students traveled to Ripley's Aquarium in Toronto. Students toured the aquarium and participated in a classroom workshop to dissect squid. In the workshop, students learned about squid anatomy and honed their dissection skills.
They also learned about how climate change is causing acidification of our oceans, and how these changes have impacted the structures in the squid that control balance and orientation. Some students finished the workshop by giving themselves squid ink tattoos. It was a fantastic hands-on learning experience for our young biologists!

Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
