Human Anatomy and Physiology: Bodies Field Trip


Bodies Field Trip







Thursday, April 18th had a lot in store for the Human Anatomy and Physiology class (HAP) as they went to the Science Museum of Minnesota and experienced  the inner workings of the body up close by viewing the Body Worlds exhibit. Since the beginning of their 3rd trimester, juniors and seniors of the HAP class have been learning about the various parts of the human body, how each part functions, and what crucial role it plays in the daily life of each individual.  At the Bodies exhibit, students were fascinated by the inner workings of the body, and were in awe of the complex machine the body is. Being able to view the smallest of the workings in our body is a very interesting thing indeed. Going to the science museum, they were able to see up close how the body works, get a more of a hands on experience, a further in-depth look, and an overall understanding of the bodies they have and how complex they are, and the wonderful creation they are in the eyes of God. Reflecting on the exhibit, Jacob Bursaw, a senior, gave his interests about the time there. “I enjoyed my time there, I was able to see all of the muscles and ligaments to move the body.” When asked what surprised him the most he responded, “all the information about the lungs, it was a lot to take in, but it was understandable.” The entire class enjoyed their adventure through the exhibit, and they will continue their learning further in the class of one of God’s best creations, the human body.
