Animal Lab
First-graders had to identify various animal groups during a recent science lab. Students partnered up and visited eight different stations. Each station had something from one of the animal groups. Students had to study each animal and then write down which group they thought it belonged to: spider, insect, fish, amphibian, mammal, reptile or bird. Students had a great time investigating and did a good job identifying each animal. Special thanks goes to former teacher, Mrs. Duchscherer, for playing the role of mammal for that animal group.
