Slidell
Jr. High School gifted 7th graders have been studying ecology
in Mrs. Leger's Life Science class. Students collected insect
samples from the school grounds to compare the diversity found
in front of the building with the diversity found in the back.
Additionally, students used dichotomous keys to determine
the taxonomical orders of the insects they collected. |
Back row: Michael Weckworth, Andrew Smith, Lauren Lawson, Maureen Roberts, Brett Kincade, John Blackwell, Brianna Burkett, Jory Ball, Simon Haines, Keely Macloud, Crystal Reese, Melody Carter Bottom row: Nathaniel Ruppel, Oliver Young-Hernandez, Kacey Leon, Claudia Ritchie and Deven Parker pose with their insect nets and specimen jars. |
