Sixth graders from William A. Wettel elementary school in Vernon visited Hamilton for a morning of science on March 21. The students began the day with a presentation by Doug Weldon, the Stone Professor of Psychology. Weldon discussed the brain and showed examples of the function of the nervous system. The students then broke into groups and rotated through classes in biology, chemistry and geology. A highlight of the visit was an erupting volcano, in this case a simulated eruption of red-tinted liquid in a large trash can placed outside.
