Today I took Kat to a genetics laboratory at the local University. A gal I went to high school with is now "Dr. A Gal I Went to High School With" and runs a lab in the natural sciences department. I thought it would be a great experience for Kat to see a woman running a lab and it was.
Kat learned about microscopes and using CO2 as a sleep agent for fruit flies. She was taught to identify male and female fruit flies and their body parts. It was fabulous!
Dr. A Gal I Went to High School With did a great job at speaking with Kat at an appropriate level and Kat was able to answer her questions impressively.
We will definitely have to plan more laboratory field trips soon!
