Portland Science Center
Have you ever wondered what the inside of your body looks like? At the Portland Science Center there are real humans that have donated their bodies to science. There are bodies that have been put into different positions, there are lungs, organs, brains and more. The people who lent their bodies to the Portland Science Center move all around the world to show more and more people the amazing things that bodies do, and how different it is between a model and a real human. Scientists and doctors have been amazed by what this has done to help them with their patients and their study. In the article I read I found a great quote about what the Science Center has done for the community. The quote reads, “We’ve had people look at the lungs, take out their cigarettes right there and throw them out,” said Gold. “If you are overweight, you are going to want to go to the gym right away”. The Portland Science Center is located in Portland ME on 68 Commercial Street. It has been here for a little longer than a year and will not be in Portland for much longer. The Portland Science Center has showed so many people what they need to know to be safe and take care of their body.
This article connects to the unit we are studying because in science we are learning about cells, and the structure of plants. In the article it tells about the science center and about the structure of the bodies. I think this was a important article because the world should know what it looks like when you do something bad to your body, and the different things that you should do to keep your body healthy. I chose this article because the function of the body and body’s movement is a topic that I really like. I like how you can see the way muscles move and how your heart moves. I learned from the article that the corpses have been preserved by a process called plastination. I also learned that these body are deceased and healthy. I was very interested in this article because it told what the inside of our body looks like and the structure also, what is healthy for our bodies and what is not. I have personally wondered what the inside of our body looks like, the Portland Science Center has helped me figure out most everything that I want to know.
