X-ray Day

8

Nov

X-ray Day on November 8th celebrates the discovery of X-rays, which are special invisible rays that can see inside our bodies. Imagine having superpowers to look at bones or teeth without opening up the skin! This discovery was made by a scientist named Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895. X-rays help doctors check for broken bones and other health issues without any pain. On this day, people learn about how X-rays work and why they are important in hospitals. It's like a superhero day for doctors and scientists who help keep us healthy using cool technology!

How to celebrate X-ray Day?

On X-ray Day, you can celebrate by making a fun science project! Gather friends and create cool arts and crafts showing what you think an X-ray looks like. Watch a video or read a book about how X-rays help doctors. Pretend you're a scientist with a lab coat and make-believe X-ray machine. You can even play a game where you find pretend "broken bones" in a stuffed toy and "fix" them. Enjoy some X-ray-themed snacks, like pretzel 'bones' and marshmallow 'casts.' Finally, share your day with family by telling them what new things you learned or made.
