Ever wondered what lived in that shell before you picked it up off the beach? That shell is the exoskeleton of invertebrates and is composed of calcium carbonate. Learn all about how these shells are formed and explore the vast shell diversity along Chesapeake Bay beaches with our guest speaker, former VIMS Marine Education Specialist Carol Hopper-Brill!

Discovery Labs are free, family-friendly programs provided each month by the Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (CBNERR) at VIMS. Designed with elementary-aged youth and their parents in mind, each lab focuses on a different topic related to the Chesapeake Bay and our local environment and includes exhibits, demonstrations, and hands-on activities as well as a short presentation (from 6:30-7:00 PM) by an expert on the topic.
