Juniors Get Physical and Explore the Body

On March 24th the juniors were given a chance to explore the bodies museum and everything in it. It was fantastic for the juniors because it supplements a health credit they need to graduate.

The Bodies Museum is in Manhattan located at 11 Fulton Street near the South Street Seaport.

It has real human bodies that are used to showcase how the bodies work and what goes on inside the body. What better way to learn than to see it for yourself right?

The junior advisors planned the trip for the juniors in order to give them something to supplement a health credit that would be interesting at the same time.

“I truly was amazed not only at the exhibit, but at the reaction and ht behavior of the students, the kids were amazing…I did not expect them to be so into the exhibit,” said junior advisor and parent coordinator said Ms. Annette Lentini.

While at the Bodies Museum, the juniors viewed parts of real human bodies. The exhibits were amazing, the lighting and the tools the museum used brought out the colors in everything and made it look more vibrant.

The museum displayed things that students wouldn’t normally be able to see in the most interesting and mind-capturing way possible so we could be interested in the exhibits which most of were.

It looked like food!”, said junior Christina Tsang, referring to the exhibit.

In one exhibit there were babies form different stages of birth, and we were able to see what a baby looks like from the time it’s conceived until it is born.

One exhibit was full of only veins and arteries. To preserve the arteries and veins they were injected with silicone, which hardens inside them, and then the body is dipped in acid and all that remains are the veins and arteries.

It was very interesting and I was the last one to leave the exhibit” said Junior Jessica Chan.

The museum was very interesting and is definitely worth a visit.

Besides the juniors, even some of the present sophomores and seniors paid the museum a visit.

“The bodies exhibit was so fascinating,” said sophomore Anita Platis.

“The museum was so interesting and I learned a lot, my favorite part was when we saw the smokers lungs, because it was surprising to see how they actually looked in real life and not on T.V.,” said senior Adefola Adeosun

This trip was great especially for students who are looking for careers in medicine because they saw firsthand before they even entered college or med school.

After the museum the students ate lunch at the South Street Seaport…lunch sounds great after we’ve seen where it all goes right?
