Most schools in America do not have the latest equipment in laboratories．It is just too costly．But the eastern state of Maryland and8 non - profit group found a way to make such equipment available during the school year．They put it on a bus!
The 13 - meter -long Maryland BioLab is a mobile classroom filled with equipment that lets students explore many kinds of science．It travels around the state visiting schools．It has every-thing from biology to forensic science（法医学）．The mobile lab has been bringing bioscience education to schools around Maryland for more than 10 years,
”It is really nice to get the students in here with hands- on activities．They get really excited and want to be engaged．”said Ms．Mangus, who is in charge of the program．She said that many students finished their experiments and left the bus excited about the possibility of becoming a scientist．
At the end of each class，Ms．Mangus talked to the students about how she became a scientist．"If we have enough time, we like to take five, ten minutes and talk about us, ourselves．I tell them how I got into science, maybe where I went to school, what I did, and the different kinds of things we could do．”
Brian Gaines, the chief executive officer of the foundation supporting the BioLab program, said the organization's goal was to help create the next generation of scientists．"We use this program to talk about careers in science－not only science, but science, technology, engineering and math．Students on the bus get real -life experience they do not get in a classroom．”
