Spooky Science


Parasitic worms, zombie snails, vampire bats. Spooky Halloween spirit was infused in every minute of biology classes at Serra High School on Halloween! Students audibly groaned as they watched a fungus take over and kill an ant before using its body as a host. Students used bingo cards to mark down any ecological interactions that they noticed in the video. Was is parasitism? Mutualism? Predation? Competition? Commensalism? Just ask a 9th grader at Serra. But we recommend not asking at meal time!
