Dr. Callie Richardson, principal at Holland Elementary, gave Rosanna Mulske’s third grade class a letter from a False Cape State Park park ranger. Inside the letter was a USB drive asking the students to help find the solution to what to do with abandoned red wolf pups that were found in Pungo.
This was an introduction to a problem-based science unit, Structures in Nature, which covers animal adaptations and food chains. Students would also go on to observe and measure animal skulls during a math and science integrated lesson.
