Material Updates at Science House
We've been going through our materials and fixing well-loved materials. The
Water Wave Trough got taken apart and re-caulked, the
Leica Microscopes have sturdier cases, and the
Sunspotters are more securely fastened to their bases. Thanks to the amazing Exhibit Production shop for all their hard work and great solutions to keep the Science House collection in tip-top shape! They are our heroes.
Gunther von Hagens' BODY WORLDS & The Cycle of Life
In this all new presentation, your students will see the elegance and complexity at work under their skin. Through more than 200 real human specimens that have been preserved through Dr. von Hagens' remarkable process of plastination, they'll witness the human body in all its phases and stages of health. They'll see individual organs and systems in both disease and good health, as well as full-body plastinates in action poses with their systems engaged, including a skateboarder, a baseball player, a ballet dancer, gymnast, and more.
