Science Express

Today we got to go on the Science Express. The Science Express is a laboratory on wheels that bring hands-on experience in science, technology, engineering and math to K-12. I thought this was a really great experience for us future teachers because I think it's really great for us to be introduced to new, fun ideas such as the science express. I think this is a wonderful way to get students excited about science/ math, which are in high demand right now in the United States. We did a few experiments with pipettes and chemicals; it was fun to test out the equipment. We also got to use little devices that test how much force you are using to squeeze this device using your hand and thumb. It also had a graph on the device, which is really great for students to help understand and analyze graphs. I'm really glad I got the opportunity to see the science express and hopefully I can take my students on it someday :)
