Students viewed different colors through special lenses to see their 'color fingerprints'. Students in biology used the forks and spoons throughout the year. One of their favorite activities was when they were studying genetics. Students were 'birds' with either a chopstick beak or a spoon beak. They had to compete for gummy worms to see which beak was best at surviving.\r\n\r\nPhysics students also used the marshmallows in order to study the wavelength of a microwave.
