"Focusing young eyes on biology"

"On Friday, the fourth-graders put their developing fish -- some creatures given names like 'Squishy,' 'Squirmy' and 'Nemo' -- under microscopes brought in by the college. Since zebrafish embryos are transparent, the students were able to observe organs, a heartbeat and blood flow in their specimens. Audible reactions from the kids ranged from 'whoa,' to 'eww' to 'weird.' 'I thought it was really fun to have fish in our school because we don’t get live animals here very often,' said fourth-grader Connor Cirullo."
