Body Connections and Health Festival
Lafayette School (all grades)

In November of 2001, LASF hosted the Lawrence Hall of Science's "Body Connections and Health Festival", an evening family science event. At tables hosted by 20 parent volunteers, students and their families learned about healthy and unhealthy organs and what steps we can take to remain healthy. Three-dimensional models gave students opportunities to disassemble and reassemble various organs, providing a fund, hands-on anatomy lesson. LASF provided a science table with microscopes for the kids to take a closer look. Slides showing different hairs and other objects were popular. At the nutrition table, students colored a food pyramid and parents helped themselves to healthy information handouts.
