Cool workshop with Cathy Lynch. So much fun learning about cells!

Model of a Cell Workshop. Thank you to Carmen and the students at Santa Olaya C.P for taking part in our workshop. The students had been studying plant and animal cells - the various parts of the cells and their functions. Their task was to build a model of either a plant cell or an animal cell. They used lots of different materials, including clay, beads, pipe cleaners, jelly and sweets. The students created fantastic models and presented them to their classmates at the end of the workshop. It was an absolute pleasure to work with such wonderful students! Well done on your great teamwork and creative models!

To better understand the digestive system of the human body, we completed an experiment of what happens to our food after we eat.

Using only a plastic bag, a banana, crackers, and colored water, we were able to recreate the process of digestion, with the plastic bag representing our stomach.

In the plastic bag, we crushed the banana and crackers together to represent chewing.

We then added the colored water to the mixture to serve as the gastric juices for digestion.
