On January 22 my school had a Science Night. We had one last year too and I volunteered to help out with a fancy microscope that one of the parents was bringing from their lab at ASU. I set up slides of student's cheek cells, onion cells, etc. and I got to walk around and look at all the other booths. This year I said I would do 3 dissections: a frog, a shark, and a fetal pig. I thought it would be similar to last year but BOY WAS I WRONG. I was a super popular booth...had a constant crowd the whole night! It was insane! I did not get a chance to leave my table at all...stuck behind it for 2 hours.
The frog was easy, I actually did two so Billy and some other people could have more time to set up the Doc Cam so I could project the dissections onto the wall. It wasn't working and people were getting restless to see the shark! Turns out the shark was WAY bigger than I thought and I was going to cry when I pulled it out of the plastic. It was like 3 ft long! But I just sucked it up and did it! Everyone seemed super impressed. I didn't want to do the pig either because it was so sad but I just sucked it up for that too and it ended up being super cool.

The next day the school sent out their weekly email and I was the teacher spotlight! Boo ya!
Well, I'm off to "practice for a half marathon"! Hahaha :)
We got a doc in the house! You are such a professional lady Cait getting a bio and everything. I wish I could have been there to watch. That Asian girl in the front looks pretty squeamish.
ReplyDeleteYou are so famous! Did you think, "Oh my gosh, I really have to cut into this huge thing?!" Or were you like, "I love science!" (still mom)
