Best way to see a fracture? Use carrots & celery and have students apply the force that can cause the different types! Anatomy students also looked at xrays to identify the type of fractures.

Professor Roth and his grad students from EIU's Dept of Ecology (Fish management) visited us today to talk about how to determine a fishes age. Bio 1 students dissected the otoliths in the head. These special structures look like rings similar to a tree. You simply count the number of rings to determine the age. Very cool! We love having Bio on the Road visiting our school!!
