Mould Juice

Did you know that penicillin was first called Mould Juice?  

Did you know that Alexander Fleming was one of two Nobel Prize winners educated at  Kilmarnock Academy?

Today we were lucky enough to have a science lesson deliverd by Glaxo Smith Kline. 

We learned  that  Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin after the First World War.

We carried out an experiment in class : 

• Half of the class  sanitised their hands and half of the class left their hands unsantised.

• We then all touched a piece of bread each.

• Next we sprayed the bread with water.

• Then we put the bread in a sealed bag and placed in a dark place in the classroom. 

• We will observe the growth over the next 2 weeks.
