Today we visited a microscope lab, the rooftop greenhouse, and some art murals in the Fogleman building!
First Stop the Microscopy Lab
Ms. Lauren did a few science demonstrations for us!
 |
| Students got to make it rain with these shaving cream clouds. |
 |
| Showing chemical reactions through the lava lamp. |
Slime as a state of matter....
 |
| Students got to see her melt glass! |
Ms. Lauren supports university research by preparing slides for microscopes. She walked us through the process of how an organ is waxed, sliced, put on a glass slide, and stained.
 |
| A look at the slides! |
To the microscope!
 |
| Up to the roof ... perfect time for an elevator selfie! |
 |
| Dr. Taller talked plants! We saw carnivorous plants, plant spores, plants with their own pond-like ecosystem, carrot research, and cacti/cactuses. |
 |
| Cactus Room |
 |
Dr. T is so nature smart! Thanks to the biology department for showing our kids a little science at work!
2 kid quotes were...
1. "Science is cool."
2. "Science stinks." |
 |
| To the art murals in the halls of the Fogelman Building. |
 |
| Meet Cedar, Emmett's dad. He designed the murals. |
Not only are the murals cool but an added bonus of a place to sit and rest.
We had a great first day! Get some rest and be ready for tomorrow's trek!
