Bee Butt's and Butterfly tongues

Do you ever wonder what a Bee stinger looks like?  Or how long a Butterfly tongue is?  My friend, Lisa and I took 5 microscopes and 1 dissecting scope to Lincoln Heights Elementary school today, along with our Microbiology instructor.  We showed a group of 2nd graders some bee stingers, bee leg, butterfly tongue, butterfly wing, goldfish scales and a blood smear.  The kids loved it!  The girls especially loved the butterfly slides.  We had fun and it was a great way to get kids excited about science!
