Williams College students teach BioEYES

Williams College Center for Learning in Action, Williamstown, MA

BioEYES brings tropical fish to 4th grade classrooms in a science teaching workshop. Elementary students will breed fish in the classroom, then use microscopes to study their development. During the first week, Williams students will learn to set up fish matings, and learn about embryonic development and the genetics of fish pigmentation, as well as practice teaching the 4th grade BioEYES lesson plans with hands-on experiments using living animals. In the subsequent two weeks, we will work in 4th grade classrooms. No zebrafish or science experience is necessary. Visit our website for more information.
