On April 1, the A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IEE RAS) held an excursion for schoolchildren of grades 6-8.
The children learned about the work of scientists, visited a vivarium with laboratory rodents, and visited a historical ecology laboratory.
Schoolchildren's reviews of the excursion:
- Anton R., grade 7C:
"I saw a newborn hamster for the first time - I didn't expect it to be so small and defenseless. It was interesting to visit a real vivarium and see the conditions in which scientists work."
- Vasilisa K., grade 8C:
"It was interesting to learn that large species of hamsters live in Moscow!"
- Dina S., grade 6C:
"The hamsters are very nice. It's interesting that some of them are predators."
- Danila P., grade 8R:
"This excursion is a great addition to biology lessons at school."
Thanks to such events, children develop a keen interest in science.
State Budgetary Educational Institution School No. 2025 expresses its sincere gratitude to Natalya Yuryevna Feoktistova for organizing and conducting an educational excursion to the IEE RAS.
