Jr.-Sr. High School students enrolled in Megan Murray’s and Katherine Dodenhoff’s Life Science classes have been exploring sustainability through an unexpected lens – alternate protein sources. As part of their learning, students researched the environmental benefits of insect-based proteins and wrote persuasive letters to companies requesting samples of cricket snacks. 

Why crickets, someone might ask. The students learned that crickets are packed with protein, require minimal resources to raise and represent a highly sustainable food option for the future. 

A company called 3 Cricketeers generously provided the students with an exciting assortment of their cricket-based products, which were enthusiastically taste-tested by the classes. Through their support, 3 Cricketeers helped to bring real-world science learning to life.
