Upon hearing the panicked squeals and shrieks, one might think someone was being tortured in the Renaissance classroom, but the students were actually excitedly conducting a science experiment by placing live crickets in a variety of environments to investigate which climate they preferred.
The hands-on lesson was part of an exploration of the world’s declining bug population. Meanwhile, across campus, grade 11 students were demonstrating a water filtration system and explaining to a younger class the importance of water in an ecosystem. The activities were part of Science Week at the school that incorporates Round Square ideals into the normal curriculum.
