BRYAN EATON/Staff photo. Amesbury Elementary School second-graders curiously look on as Adinah Greene of the Museum of Science lets a brown rat out of its cage on Tuesday afternoon. The rat was one of the animals she had on hand that she was teaching the students about their habitats, diets and how they survive. She also showed a grey tree frog and an African Bull Python.
