Radiology at Gundersen Lutheran

On Friday we visited the radiology unit at Gundersen Lutheran! We started in the auditorium where the doctors participate in educational lectures. We learned some background information about nuclear medicine, X-Ray, and Ultrasound.

Then we got to visit the rooms where these doctors work to get some hands-on experience in their job fields!

Microscope Mania

The last few weeks in science we have been learning about the cell and cell organelles. This week we got the opportunity to actually look at cells using microscopes. We learned the different parts of a microscope and how to focus in on specimen.

In order to look at animal cells we took samples of our own cheek cells, put them on a glass slide, and slipped them under the microscope to see what animal cells really look like!

Human Cheek Cells

Next week we'll be taking a look at onion cells to compare and contrast plant and animal cells!
