On October 12, the 4-year-old Bear Room children watched as Professor Matthew Douglas’s class dissected squids. The children also explored the great variety of animals/specimens that are available in the Zoology Lab. The children were excited to have such a unique experience. They were able to use the microscope to look at the mouth of a squid and see the eyeball up close. They learned that you can actually write your name using the ink from the ink-sack from the squid. They also discovered that the squid actually has a beak that they use to eat their food.

As a mother of a preschool student in GRCCs program, I so appreciate opportunities for our children to explore science hands-on. Children learn by doing and witnessing first hand the amazing wonders our world holds. Kudos to GRCC and the Preschool program for sharing these types of experiences with the kids!
Thank you for sharing. This is a great learning opportunity for all involved!
