Minute Maid Park Tour

The Engineering SLC will be taking a tour of Minute Maid Park on February 15, 2008. The students will be getting a behind the scenes tour of the park.

Permission forms were due in January to their SLC advisors. The students will be expected to meet attendance, conduct and tardy standards to participate.

The cost will be $8 per student.

 

Dr. Poston focused on how radiation can be found everywhere...in our bodies, in food (such as Brazil nuts), in ceramic dishes (such as the old Fiestaware), etc. While radiation exposure can be bad, such as overexposure causing the demise or damage of good living cells, radiation can also be good such as killing aggressive cells as in treatments in cancer patients. Dr. Poston used a Geiger Counter to measure the level of radiation in different items that he brought along, as well as radiation found in the auditorium room. He also brought along some prizes such as balls and t-shirts. The prizes were given to the students who answered questions.
