Fourth graders were joined by Dr. Jason Ramsay from Westfield State University’s biology department to continue their unit on Structure and Function! The afternoon started with him being the expert panelist for students presenting a prosthetic they built for an injured animal within a Project Lead the Way Module on structure and function of plants and animals. Then, he showed us structure and function in real life, focusing on how real items and machines are built to mimic the structure and function of animals! We ended the afternoon by testing out two different wings that have the same function but look a lot different in their structure! Fourth graders were thrilled to learn from a real life scientist and can’t wait to continue the collaboration with WSU.
