Kindergarten Class Visits Stanford University


Half of Mrs.Conley's class wants to be a scientist after skyping with Dr.N.R. Conley in Palo Alto, California.  Dr. Conley took the class on a virtual tour of his lab at Stanford University showing them lab mice and cancer cells through a very high power microscope . The kids also got to see a whole lab of fruit flies and their freezer, along with other tools a scientist would uses. He also showed them nutrients used to feed cells for experiments and they got to meet other scientist in the lab. He did a kindergarten experiment for the kids with the egg going into the bottle when heated. Dr. Conley answered lots of five year old questions. The class loved it and talked about it for several days afterward. It really was a lasting science lesson to be remembered.They ask frequently "when can we skype Dr.Conley again?"
