Miss Powers' First Grade students in Room 6 are the proud caretakers of four baby Diamondback Terrapins for this school year. The class is "headstarting" (captive rearing) them so that when they are released this Spring, their body size will be comparable to a three or four year old terrapin in the wild and have a better survival rate. Right now their shells are about the size of a half-dollar. We are collecting data on their feeding habits,
size of their shell, weight, and behavior. We will be conducting
other experiments in the future.
