We went to the annual science night at Golden West College with our friends Cole and Sarah. Cole and Tommy practiced putting a brain together...
And got elbow deep in this blood cell simulation.
I can feel my skull!!!
Check out this cool scorpion that glowed in the black light!
Sarah and I waited in line to get hooked up the lie detector machine to test our physiological responses to stress and lying.
I'm not much of a liar, but Sarah wrote out some questions for me that she thought might trip me up.
Results: somewhat inconclusive, but it was established that history is NOT my favorite class. That question was pretty straight forward.
They had a hand washing challenge where they put these luminescent "germs" on your hands, and you had to wash and put them back under the black light to make sure you got them clean. Gross, Tommy! He had to go back and wash again.
We looked at hair, cheek cells, pennies, and bugs under the microscope. Did you know that on the back of older pennies there's a part that looks like a naked person's butt?
Cole found it, and sure enough, take a look. It's really the seated statue of Lincoln, and those are his knees, not buttcheeks. But it's still pretty funny.
We also saw students melt gummy bears in super hot potassium chlorate. The green one actually glowed this pink color!
At the end Sarah and I made ice cream in a bag.
Science is yummy!
