We have now left our teeth in Diet Coke and Coca-Cola for one week now. As you can see the tooth that was in the Coca-Cola is nearly fully black and rotten. The tooth that was in the Diet Coke is badly damaged and a dark grey colour. Our experiment is showing that BOTH type of juice are bad for our teeth – I think we will be sticking to water from now on and keeping juice as a treat every now and again!
We will update you again in another week!
Today we carried out the first of our observations from our liver and alcohol experiment. Each part of liver has now swelled and absorbed some the alcohol. All of the liver has changed colour and some parts now have broken and burst veins. It is safe to say that all of the livers are now badly damaged and that has just been after 24 hours. We were shocked as even the liver that was submerged in the alcopop has been damaged which shows that these are just as bad for you – even though the packaging makes them look like juice.
We wonder what will happen after 1 week!
As part of our Health and Wellbeing we have been learning all about the way in which alcohol and substance misuse can damage our body. We have found this topic really interesting but very scary. Yesterday we began our experiment into the effects that alcohol can have on our liver and because it was something that was so good for us to be doing a Health and Wellbeing Officer from East Ayrshire Council came in and observed us. Ms Jarvis told us that we were one of the best behaved P7 she had come across d that we were hugely responsible throughout the afternoon.
We will keep you up-to-date with our results…
