>Original message:
>
>The Fish Lake Biological Program in Michigan is offering a new,
>one-week course called Herpetology for Teachers, which is designed for
>in-service science teachers and science-education students. Students
>will explore the world of reptiles and amphibians -- in the places
>where they live. Field sessions predominate this course, so students
>will spend considerable time outdoors exploring the hundreds of acres
>of lakes, wetlands, forests and meadows of the Fish Lake grounds and
>adjacent state game area, and conducting team field projects. At the
>Fish Lake site, students will spend some time in lectures (which are
>punctuated with videos of field herpetologists in action and current
>research findings) and doing labwork to enhance their understanding of
>the animals we will see in the field. The course also features several
>field trips to sites of special interest where students can find some
>of Michigan's less common amphibians and reptiles.=20
>
>A dormitory and cafeteria are available for students who wish those
>services. The Fish Lake biological station is located in Lapeer, Mich.,
>about 60 miles north of Detroit.
>
>For information about the course, which is offered through Wayne State
>University, see http://bio.wayne.edu/fishlake/ or contact the
>instructor, Leslie Mertz, at ab2530 at wayne.edu.
