Cathy Jusits Shares Science Lesson at Humes Academy

Cathy Justis from the Wolf River Conservancy was invited out to Humes Innovative.  Cathy shared science lesson with the students that included animals and plants that live around the Wolf River. The Wolf River runs just blocks from our school. 

The students recognized the differences and similarities between animals and humans.  Some similarities and differences they referenced were the skeletal systems.  The students got a chance to pet the animals as well as learn about them.
