Holmes Middle School
and
Chicago Academy of Sciences
Museum in the Classroom Project
Museum in the Classroom is a state-wide program. Our school is participating
in co-operation with the Chicago
Acadeny of Sciences. The Acadamy's program
is called TEEE. This stands for Threatened, Endangered, Extirpated, and
Extinct. Threatened is when a certain species of animal is being killed
and is in danger of becoming endangered. Endangered is when a species is
becoming much less common and might become extinct or extirpated. Extirpated
is when an animal is gone from some place but still exists in others. Extinct
is when a an animal is gone, everywhere.
