We need your help! We’re looking for volunteers who want to participate in two workshops with the Girls Inc. of Holyoke on July 16 and July 17th from 9:30 am to 12 pm:
“Playing with Pillbugs: Experimental Design and Animal Behavior”
In this exercise, students learn about pillbugs (aka roly polys)—a land-dwelling crustacean. Students begin by observing pillbug behavior and then create hypotheses about habitat and food preference.
“What’s in your Water?”
This water quality workshop aims to demonstrate the need for the treatment of water to make it potable. Students perform simple tests on water samples provided.There will be a training on Tuesday July 15th at 4 pm in ISB 355. We will do a quick run-through of the exercises and familiarize volunteers with the material. You can also have lunch with the girls after the workshop if you are interested.
