Kindergarten Visits the Biology Lab

The AP Biology students were excited to welcome the kindergarteners to the Biology Lab on Thursday morning for a tour of different scientific tools and equipment at various stations. Kindergarteners acted as young scientists by making observations and coming up with more questions as they learned about the questions addressed at each station: 1) Why and how do scientists use micropipettes? 2) Why do scientists use microscopes? 3) Why and how do scientists use calipers? 4) Why do scientists collect data 5) Why do scientists use models?

Kindergarten then "left their mark" on the lab by getting to write their names using chalk markers on the lab tables. They were able to extend their learning back in the classroom by writing a reflection about their experience and the different scientific tools and equipment they got to use. What an exciting morning filled with clams, birds, microorganisms, a heart, brain, skeleton and even some micropipette art!
