Last week, we welcomed Busch Wildlife Sanctuary for an engaging presentation on land animal adaptations. Students explored how Florida animals use camouflage, strength, speed, and other unique traits to survive in their habitats.
We also partnered with the Cox Science Center and Aquarium for an exciting Shark Tooth Lab, where students examined real shark teeth and learned how sharks’ adaptations as apex predators help them thrive in the ocean.
