You're probably wondering what frog pipes and salamander planks have to do with my mentorship experience, and that's completely understandable. However, my mentorship has everything TO DO with frog pipes and salamander planks! Last Tuesday, my mentor and I went out to Whitlow Elementary and set up twelve research stations for the science department. These research stations, made up of one tube and one plank each, will allow students to monitor and track the frogs and salamanders in the area. These pipes and planks gives students the opportunity to be a part of Keep America Beautiful's Frog Monitoring Program! All of the data they collect will be used to keep track of overall environmental health in the county and the state of Georgia, and determine if there's anything that needs to be done to rehabilitate the environment and ensure that everything is continuously safe.
