There were several other learning activities such as a matching game that featured images of cells and a felt body with internal organs and pictures of cells from each organ. The children also were able to make respiratory cells and liver cells out of crafting materials.<\/p>\n<p>The cytotechnology program received 43 thank you letters from the second-graders. Here are some thoughts from the little scientists in their own second-grade words: <\/p>\n<p><BR>&#8220;It was fun looking through the microscope. When I grow up I want to be a scientist.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><BR>&#8220;It was awesome that you came to our classroom.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><BR>&#8220;It was unbelievable. I learned a lot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><BR>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t know I had so much cells in my mouth.
