HANDS-ON SCIENCE IN THE FOX DEN!
It was Frog Dissection Day in Mrs. Rich's, Mr. DeBell's, and Mrs. Franey's science classes today! Our Silver Foxes had the opportunity to explore animal anatomy firsthand by examining and identifying organs and body structures. Students also got an up-close look at the internal anatomy of a pig!
Many of our students really enjoyed this unique, hands-on learning experience that brought science to life beyond the textbook!
A big thank you to our science teachers for creating memorable learning opportunities that spark curiosity and discovery!
