Shaun Davis, an RET from Thornapple Kellogg Middle School who has worked with us for the past several summers, won a 2017 Educator Excellence Award from the Kalamazoo Air Zoo for his work bringing hands-on science into his middle school classroom.  At the awards ceremony, Shaun presented the global warming experiment he installed at his school that mimics the warming experiment in our prairie restoration genetic diversity experiment. Shaun takes his students outside nearly every day to survey phonological responses to warming.  Way to go, Shaun!  It’s well deserved!
