Outdoor Biology
Lab Being Held
By Pam Boyce
When youVe wading after
slimy salamanders or stalking
uncooperative grasshoppers, a
three - hour lab tends to slip
by rather quickly. So Mrs.
Potts’ lab students discovered
last week during a field trip
to her house.
After dividing into groups
of six, everyone scattered in
to the woods surrounding Mrs.
Potts’ home. Each group was
to collect flowers, plants and
crawling things if they could.
The scavenger hunt lasted an
hour and a half; then every
one rendezvoused back to the
house.
Squirmy girls returned car
rying bags of flowers and
weeds. The braver men carried
jars of salamanders, crawfish,
frogs and tadpoles. Shortly a
herd of grasshoppers, crickets,
and spiders wandered around
the porch.
One group returned with a
kitten only hours old. Another
searched through frozen peas
and corn on the cob for a hawk
in Mrs. Potts’ freezer. (She’s
