Science Olympiad Help

Recently, Amy Nazdrowicz and Jodi Kerstetter took our critters on the road, and met with A.G. Waters Middle School’s Science Olympiad team to help prepare them for their spring competition, in particular relating to reptiles and amphibians. Amy and Jodi discussed specifics about various reptile and amphibian species native to Delaware, and the Delmarva Peninsula, and gave the kids the opportunity to touch a snake, salamander, and frog. While some of the students initially balked, most of them ended up touching a Garter Snake, and noticing the difference in skin texture.

Amy and Jodi will be headed back in the spring to help the kids brush up before the big test. Good luck A.G. Waters!
