Science Lab Day
Ten to fourteen year old students get a taste of laboratory research with Lawrence science majors. Every year, the labs focus around a different theme. The young students hear a brief background talk from our scientists, rotate through three labs mentored by Lawrence students, and return to ask questions of our faculty.
The Lawrence University Biology Department has sponsored science outreach days since 1998.
