This year, some fellow seniors and I have had the chance to immerse ourselves in AP Environmental Science class. I think many of us didn't expect to come into contact with plenty of unique creatures! Take a look:
 |
| Ball Python |
 |
| Red-Eared Slider |
 |
| Softshell Turtle (or "Pancake" Turtle) |
 |
| Box Turtle |
 |
| Rose-Haired Tarantula |
 |
| Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches |
Ms. Newman, our instructor, loves having us interact with all of these creatures, as well as other forms of life. She says:
"science is touching, experiencing, and hands on discovery. I want my students to be able to directly interact with their environment on a daily basis. Also, my goal for this class is to implement a sense of appreciation and responsibility for the environment, as their generation has some big decisions ahead of them regarding the environment."
Ms. Newman's objectives are certainly evident in class, as demonstrated by the photos below:
