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.
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 had a lovely afternoon today as Mrs Houston visited us and helped us to bake our very own scone! We learned about the ingredients we needed and the method to use. Tomorrow we will use what we have learned to write our very own recipe for baking scones.
