Sharing a love of God's creation with the next generation

This past week, students in my Survey of Plant Animals course took some time to share about God's creatures with students in the after school program at Restoration Ministries in Harvey, IL.  This year their topic was cave creatures.  In the preschool classroom, the kids drew different cave creatures and then played a game of blind cave fish tag.  In the first and second grade classroom, students acted out a variety of cave creatures from bears to snails to epsilonproteobacteria.  In the third and fourth grade classroom, animal bingo and a bat-themed craft allowed for exploration of different cave-dwelling animals.

Cave creatures like cave spiders and the Texas blind salamander may not be cute and cuddly, but they have their own unique and interesting traits. To me, these give evidence of the diverse and amazing world in which we live.  I always enjoy the opportunity to visit Restoration Ministries and share about the wonderful biodiversity of God's creation.

    I'm a biology professor at Trinity Christian College. I'll be using this page to share interesting stories related to ecology and conservation at Trinity and in the Chicago area (although I might be tempted to expand my geographic focus upon occasion).
