Fifth-Grade Boys at Speas Global Elementary Head to Winston-Salem


By Anita Hooker

On April 20th, our fifth-grade boys went to Winston Salem State University to participate in a science laboratory exercise with college students analyzing blood types. Students were presented with a crime-scene scenario where they had to analyze the sample of blood (mixed solution) found at the crime scene. Based on the results they were able to determine who the suspect was.

After the science lab experiment, the boys were greeted by a panel of college students who spoke with them about the importance of education and took the young men on a tour of the campus. While on the tour, one group was able to meet and briefly talk with Dr. Elwood Robinson, Chancellor of the University. The young men also ate lunch in the cafeteria. 

The young men thoroughly enjoyed both experience.
