It is just too costly. But the eastern state Maryland has found a way to make such equipment available during some parts of 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. Today, the bus has stopped at Patapsco High School in the city of Baltimore. Science teacher Leah Warble is very pleased that her students could perform an experiment-using real chemicals. "Today the students are able to do an acid-based hydration (水合作用). Normally, they would do it through simulations on the computer. And now the BioLab allows them to do it in real life, actual time and actually apply it to something that we use in real life."‎ The mobile lab has been bringing bioscience education to schools around Maryland for more than a decade. Scientist Angel Mangus, who is in charge of the mobile laboratory, says that many students finish their experiments and leave the bus excited about the possibility of becoming a scientist. She says their goal is to help create the next generation of scientists.‎ That made a difference to 15-year-old Seda Sinan, who is interested in biology. "It gave me more materials to work with than what I have at school. It' s more interactive." Her classmate Shenara Jefferson agrees, "We students get real-life experience that we do not get in a classroom."‎ Back in the school classroom, Leah Warblers students continue working on the results of their experiments on the bus. "It does help me do my job. " Ms. Warble says children usually do not know what they are interested in until they get real-life experience with a subject. "Well, the excitement of feeling like a real scientist, even just a change in what they are wearing, like wearing goggles (护目镜) and blue gloves made them feel more like scientists. They are more likely to be involved in the science careers in the future. ‎ ‎66.
