California State University, Stanislaus Biology students led by Dr. Mark Grobner will host 100 students from Walnut Elementary School in Turlock as a culmination of a semester-long Service Learning science Life Cycles project. The Life Cycles Project helps 2nd grade students learn about the vertebrate life cycle by following the development of young tadpoles as they mature into frogs.
CSU Stanislaus biology students in Dr. Mark Grobner’s Vertebrate Embryology course set up aquariums with tadpoles in elementary school classrooms throughout the Turlock school district. In addition to Walnut Elementary, tadpoles are maturing at Crowell, Julien, Wakefield, Dennis Earl and Whitmore Elementary schools. Throughout the semester, the younger students watch the transformation from tadpole to frog. The project culminates in several schools releasing the maturing tadpoles into Willow Lake on the CSU Stanislaus campus.
More than 100 students from Walnut Elementary School will visit the CSU Stanislaus campus from 10 to 11:30 a.m. on May 21 and 24 to release their tadpoles. In addition, the elementary students will take a tour of the new Naraghi Hall of Science.
This fun and educational event will take place at Willow Lake next to the CSU Stanislaus Naraghi Hall of Science, which is off Monte Vista Avenue.
