Biology On The Playground
Who says learning only takes place in the classroom? These elementary students found 4 different praying mantises on the playground during one recess!

Fish Dissection
One of the highlights of the Trout in the Classroom program is dissecting trout. Last Thursday, fifth graders rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty while learning about the internal anatomy of a Rainbow Trout. They identified the major internal organs such as the heart, kidney, stomach, and intestines, while also getting a closer look at the gills and spherical lens that helps trout see in all directions.
