High school students from The KAUST School (TKS) were given hands-on experience as part of their marine ecology program, learning how scientists at the University both conduct research in the lab and perform field work in the Red Sea:
Over the past few weeks, [TKS] students enrolled in IB Biology and ESS have been conducting ecology labs and preparing for a marine ecology field trip. The KAUST School teachers have partnered with the Red Sea Research Center at KAUST and have invited their experts on marine biology and ecology including sponge experts, coral experts, and fish behavioral researchers into our science classes.
Researchers Maha Khalil and Emily Giles brought first hand research skills to both our classroom and field trip, showing us how the professionals collect data in marine research. . . Click here to read the full article.
