The BioBus, a multi-dimensional platform for inquiry-based science education, visited the Archer Street School in April. Students in grades K-4 had the opportunity to explore the inner workings of Daphnia, a shrimp-like animal, found in local ponds.
The students used microscopes to view the heart, nerves and digestive system of this live animal. Students also had the opportunity to view their own clothing and their hands under the microscope. Every student and teacher found the experience to be unique and exciting for all.
