On the 15th of March P6/7 went to the high school for a science day. P6/7 from different schools came as well, like Bowmore, Port Charlotte and Keills. We all got into groups to do different activities. P7 went to do science. We did Chemistry, Physics and also Biology.
In biology we had to find many different things about ourselves, like our heart rate, our temperature, our reaction time and about our lungs. After we had tested we had to write it down.
Also we had to get a sample of our DNA. We did that by getting fairy liquid and pouring it into a tube. Then we had to getting a cotton wool stick and wipe it around our mouths. We would then stick it in the tubes. After we did that we got something that was ice cold, and put it in with the fairy liquid. We then put it in a beaker and poured it in somewhere else. To make sure it was ours we had to write our initials on it. We all learned how to get a sample of our own DNA and I think that is a good skill to learn. We all really enjoyed the different activities that we did, and cannot wait to do it again in high school.
