Fifth grade students, sporting their wellies and water shoes headed to the Wissahickon creek last week to begin their salamander study led by their teacher Craig Newberger who has been teaching science in GA's abundant outdoor spaces since he arrived here over 25 years ago. A pathfinder in outdoor and hands on science education Newberger's programs have been the gold standard for an integrated science curriculum incorporating classroom and site studies, modeling for area schools and colleagues best practices for the study of environmental science. "He makes science fun." commented one student above the squeals from others as they entered the chilly water noting, "This is the best class, ever!"
