Oyster Dissection, Grade 5

Contact Us

Oysters are everywhere on Cape Cod; they are in the water, on the plate, and in the classroom! In this class students look beneath the shell and identify the internal structures that help this organism survive in the ocean. Students will also learn about the critical role oysters play in the offshore ecosystem.
