WMHO FEATURES...

Go back in time to the Thompson House c. 1709,  and visit a colonial doctor's office! Students are transported to the post-Revolutionary War period in this interactive program with medical instruments, patient diagnosis, and making pharmaceutical remedies. This program acquaints young people with the differences in medicine, health and disease from the 18th century to today. Students will have the opportunity to role play with the instructor where a variety of ailments will be diagnosed using 18th century methods. Students will visit the doctor's apothecary and use mortars and pestles to grind herbs. Students will use Smart Board Technology to perform 21st century surgeries and will end with a discussion on the discoveries in science effecting medicine and the future.
