On June 12th our class gave a presentation to an eighth grade science class about Herpetology. The presentation began with a quick snack of munchkins to draw in their attention. We then moved into our slide show and talked about all the different animals we have captured since we began the project. The kids seemed quite engaged in the project especially when we allowed them to hold the Musk Turtle and the green frogs. The kids rushed to the front of the room to get a chance to hold one of the animals we had captured in the days leading up to the presentation. After the kids had a chance to hold the animals we took them on a quick field trip outside to show them the pitfall traps. We did a quick demonstration of how they worked and  then went to see if there were any animals in the traps that day. We caught a few green frogs that day. After that the science class had to go and work on their own project and we went off in our own direction to take care off our recently caught frogs. This was the end of our presentation for the day.
