Students at Clay Elementary engaged in scientific investigation and inquiry through the use of microscopes and modern day technology and equipment. The microscope labs introduced students to cell characteristics as they studied the human body. They dissected plants and insects, observed hair follicles, clothing fiber and fingerprint analysis. Students were also able to partake in a forensic lab where they worked together to identify and collect crime scene evidence. They were also able to see how science leads to an understanding of the world and the wide variety of career opportunities.
