Grade 5 - Neato Neurons

Join us on a “cellular” journey.  Explore the basic unit of life! Get to know “cells in your body” and not the “cell in your pocket”.  Our organs are made up of cells.  This workshop explores the mysteries of the brain – an organ that makes us who we are.  Hands-on examine real dissected sections of the HUMAN BRAIN and get real close to an entire human brain!  Test your skills. Identify cell structures and organelles as you observe real cells of the brain and other organ cells under magnification.  Explore diseases of the brain and how they affect the nerve cells.  Partner-up and test your brain with games that will have you think twice!  Participate in an experiment that uses your thoughts to control movement in your friend.  “May the force be with you!”
