The Science Center of Iowa
Des Moines, IA
Nine Metro science students and three teachers traveld to Des Moines on the last full day of school to see the Body World Vital Exhibit hosted at the Science Center of Iowa. It was a great day that included an IMAX movie about the human body, a tour of the science center and the new traveling exhibit, Body World Vital.
The Body World Vital Exhibit is an artistic and scientific display of human cadavers designed to both educate and inspire the public about the facinating world of the human body. Cadavers are planfully disected, undergo a process called plastination, and then placed in a final position for display. The exhibit gave students great insight into how the human body contains all the organs and tissues that makes us who we are.
Students in Metro's Biology classes had spent the trimester learning about the systems of the human body and this traveling exhibit seemed to be a perfect way to cap off the learning for the trimester. Students attending were selected based on their attendance, behavior, and credit earning in their science class this trimester. Students making the trip to Des Moines included: Jennica Christiansen, Allysa Colvin, Michele Brisbane, Marrisa Geers, Pam & Deb Jackson & Patrick Conlin.
What a cool exhibit! Wish we lived close enough to see it too!
