Rascal and Lightning: Our Class Pets


Rascal and Lightning are our Albino Rats that have spent 4 weeks in our classroom. Our project was to learn about nutrition. Rascal drank milk, while Lightning drank sugar water throughout the experiment. Both rats ate a diet of carbs, veggies, fruit, and protein. Students absolutely loved observing Rascal and Lightning on a daily basis. Once a week we measured the rats' tails and weighed each rat. This project was an excellent "hands-on" project for kids to be able to observe and witness first hand how what we eat affects our growth and behavior.
