Living Arts and Science Center Field Trip

Posted by Cindy on November 12, 2008

It just so happens that we’re studying chemistry this year AND the Living Arts and Science Center has a special exhibit open called Invisible World: The Beauty of Microscopic Life.  Perfect!

Observing prepared slides of all sorts.

Completing a scavenger hunt of the hands-on exhibits.

Making our own pond water slides for the microscope.

Guessing what items are magnified.

Do I look any bigger to you?

Magnifying letters using various unconventional tools.

Fingerprinting with pencil lead and tape in order to observe the prints under hand-held microscopes.

We visit the LASC every year.  They do a wonderful job with hands-on learning!
