On Wednesday, P6/5 went to Fir Park Football Stadium.  We got the bus to the stadium and when we arrived we met the Motherwell captain Keith Lasley!!  We were welcomed by a nice lady who showed into the stadium.

We were introduced to Ross, a Bodyworks on tour representative, from Glasgow Science Centre.  He showed us many different experiments.  At first, Jennifer had to try and beat the lights by running from one end of the hall to the other, bouncing a ball and returning before the lights went out.  She did so well!

Ross told us about different types of fat and the impact these fats have on your body.  He did an experiment using a bottle, fairy liquid, peroxide and some form of salt.  This was to show the burning feeling you get in your muscles when exercising.

Afterwards, Miss Brown got electrocuted several times to cause cramp in her arm. She then had to write her name to see the difference from writing without cramp to writing with cramp.  Miss Brown did NOT enjoy that at all!!

We were then taken a tour around the ground, through the tunnel and round the park.  We even got to see where the managers sit!

We were taken on to the astroturf to have a kick-about and enjoy the sunshine!

We had a great time!
