African-American museum celebrates history in Decatur

Decatur: History Meets Architecture And Recreation

Today at the Cook Museum in Decatur, RenV students explored the food cycle through hands-on activities and exhibits. They examined animal skulls, learned how energy moves through living things, and met some of the museum’s animal ambassadors to see how species are connected. To finish the day, students dissected owl pellets, discovering firsthand how food webs and food chains function in real ecosystems—and even got to keep the bones they found as a reminder of their experience! #cookmuseum #ren
