BioExpress brings unique life science adventures from the Science Museum of Virginia to schools and events throughout the Commonwealth. This traveling science program presents informal educational experiences that are fun for all ages. BioExpress travels to elementary and middle schools, fairs, libraries and special events. Students learn how energy from the sun travels through an ecosystem. Students identify scanning electron micrographs of different cells in their bodies.
Students compare and match the brains to the animals.
Students will explore the accuracy of their sense of touch by trying to identify four objects by simply touching them. The way you see, hear and touch are important forms of adaptations often taken for granted. Learn how humans and other animals have special adaptations that help them survive in their environments. Explore the microscopic world through a variety of biological specimens. Experiment with your own nervous system, test your reflexes, build a neuron, and discover the path messages travel in your body.
