Ithaca College

Over fall break, Professor Ed Cluett and science education students Molly Trufant and Mary Edwards-Ransom ran the annual frog dissection activity as part of our partnership with Frederick Douglass Academy in New York City.

These students supervised dissections in 12 classes over two days, seeing 220 students in grades nine, seven, and six, as well as two seventh-grade special education classes.

Frogs were generously provided by the biology department at IC; Tim Hearn, science coordinator at FDA, provided valuable logistical support; and the IC/FDA partnership provided financial support.
