On Wednesday the Make It Team from the museum's Youth Science Center talked about research using animals.

MakeIt Team

The teens watched four short videos:

• Diabetes Hormone, a video about Diabetes research using mice
• Fluoride in the Brain, a video about the effects of fluoride on mice and humans
• A video about animal research from PETA
• Hibernation, showing how animal hibernation research impacts space exploration.

After watching the videos, teens used the Democs Game to talk about the pros and cons of animal testing. Democs is a role playing activity where teens are assigned different view points and then asked to debate issues from those view points.
