Avery Parker, right, and Golda Nunneley, both seventh-graders at Holt Middle School, react Thursday after getting squirted with frog fluids while dissecting it during science class in Fayetteville. Students in Amy Eversole science class at Holt were dissecting frogs and rats purchased as scientific equipment/supplies with a $15,000 grant from a group of science teachers from the Arkansas Community Foundation.

Seventh-graders squealed “cool,” “gross” and “this is fun” while they examined the insides of frogs and rats last week in Amy Eversole’s science class at Holt Middle School.
