Science Resource: BioBus

Like a real-life Magic School Bus, the BioBus, a 1974 transit bus equipped with $100,000 worth of research-grade microscopes and staffed by Ph.D. scientists, is Cell Motion Laboratory’s flagship experiment in creating a kid-friendly laboratory on wheels.

BioBus gives students in the NYC-area the opportunity to work side-by-side with real scientists and explore their environment with professional equipment.

Almost every day of the school year, the BioBus parks in front of a local school, giving the students that board the chance to use a phase-contrast video microscope to make movies of crawling amoeba, and more! We have a feeling even Ms. Frizzel and the gang would be envious! biobus.org
