My Project

Our high school environmental science class is passionate about learning and taking action to protect our planet. One of the most engaging and memorable ways to deepen our understanding of ecosystems and biodiversity is through hands-on experiences. Therefore, we're excited to embark on a project to adopt a class pet that will serve as a living, breathing example of the concepts we study.

Our goal is to acquire a class pet that will enhance our learning environment and serve as a focal point for our studies in environmental science.

By observing and caring for a living organism, students will gain valuable insights into ecology, animal behavior, and responsibility. The class pet will become an integral part of our curriculum, enriching lessons and providing opportunities for inquiry-based learning.
