Our seventh graders had an unforgettable adventure at Winona State University’s Biology Department! From hands-on lab experiments to thrilling indoor activities, our students explored the exciting world of science with the help of incredible staff and undergraduate students who made learning fun and engaging.
The day was packed with interactive experiences. Students peered through microscopes to observe fruit flies up close, gaining insight into genetics and scientific observation. A fishing activity taught them about aquatic ecosystems, while a pandemic simulation helped them understand the spread of diseases and the importance of public health.
Geology came to life as students examined meteorites and dinosaur teeth, sparking curiosity about Earth's past. The flume lab provided an exciting way to explore water flow and erosion, making real-world connections to environmental science. The chemistry lab was filled with colorful reactions and exciting experiments, bringing the magic of chemistry to life!
To top it all off, students had the opportunity to challenge themselves on a rock-climbing wall, building teamwork and confidence while having a blast.
We are incredibly grateful to the faculty and undergraduate students at Winona State University for providing such a diverse and engaging learning experience. The variety of activities ensured that every student found something fascinating to explore, making this field trip a truly memorable experience!
