Organisation: Singapore Zoo
Mentor: Maggie Ang
Members: Chung Su Ling Joanne, Tan Ee Lyn
Project Title: Singapore Zoo (Education Department)

A. Brief Description of Project
Err... We went to the zoo (it takes a while to get there)... and were attached to the Education Department.... we labelled their library for them.... we saw and touched many animals (especially those that had died of natural causes and were preserved)...we saw how a crocodile is taxidermised... we sat through many talks about the zoo and animals... we packed goodie bags... we helped out in book launches (kinda, we were ushers)...we helped out in an overnight camp... we were treated to Ben & Jerry's.... I think that's about it...

B. Results
1. One gerbil bite; multiple rabbit scratches.
2. Muscles from carrying all the books (librarians are strong!)

C. Reflection

Three content knowledge/skills that we have learnt

1. I learnt why I should not squeeze a gerbil, and why I should squeeze a chinchilla.
2. If you have an overnight camp with kids, boys will NOT change their underwear unless you happen to ask them and get their confession on tape.
3. Ben and Jerry are geniuses.

Two interesting aspects about our learning

1.
2.

Some take-aways for life

1. Never, ever, squeeze a gerbil. On a lighter note, do squeeze a chinchilla.
2. Guinea pigs poop a lot.

A video, which was contrived for your benefit, and your benefit only. A concise, and somewhat unclear, account of our four weeks at the zoo. Enjoy, please.
