Rock pool field day — Lab Scientist · Pretender
A fictional marine biology team has one low tide to survey rock pools on a beach. Time on the rocks is limited and the sea always comes back.

Your role
You're the field scientist (in this game).
Your goal
Share the team's hours so the survey is useful and everyone gets back safely.
What you know
- Each pool must be surveyed the same way (same square frame, same time) so pools can be compared.
Limits
- Never turn your back on the sea; someone watches the tide at all times.
Success looks like
- Safety — Tide watched, route back clear.
- Good data — Enough pools counted the same way.
- Context — Water measured to explain the counts.
Skills you used
- Planning — Turning a goal into steps.
- Prioritising — Doing the most important thing first.
In real life
Marine biologists plan field days around tide tables and use square frames called quadrats so every count is comparable. Safety plans, like a tide watcher, are part of every real survey.
