Science Room Pets
From the new NYC DOE Scope and Sequence:
Article 17–Section 809 pertains to the humane treatment of live vertebrate animals. Having live animals in the science classroom is encouraged because it sparks students’ interest in the living world around them. The care and respect for animals and all living things must be promoted in the school setting. Section 809 of the New York State Education Law ensures that animals are treated ethically and humanely.
