Special Senses- hosted by Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine
How do your body recognize what happens in the environment? In our exhibit medical students from Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine will interact with you to demonstrate the Special Senses. You will learn that 1) Touch is part of the sensory system and it is more than using our hands to feel things. Our skin helps us to recognized difference in temperature, vibrations, texture, pressure and pain. 2) The visual system can trick us with optical illusion due bright light and contrasting patterns. It is the mental processing that determines how we see the world. 3) The auditory system detects sound vibration and we can identify where the sounds come from because we have two ears on each side of our head. 4) Taste and Smell are the chemical senses and they are very close related.

What can we see with chemistry!- hosted by the Chemistry Club at Virginia Tech
Stop by our booth to learn more about polymers, acids, and bases with the Chemistry Club. We can make a solution thicker, change its color, and generate bubbles using different chemicals, some of which are in your own kitchen!
We are the American Chemical Society Student Affiliates at Virginia Tech, with 20 active undergraduate members. There are several outreach programs during the year, including demostrations and hands on activities.
