“The program applied to science in many ways. Predator-prey interactions, such as owls and hawks, were discussed in detail. Ecology of grasslands and of forest ecosystems were illustrated, and the effect of each of these on specific bird species was also covered. Lastly, specific adaptations of individual species of birds they introduced were a major part of the program.” – John Edgar, Sperry Middle School Science Teacher
