P4/3 Scientists with Dr Michelle Bellingham

Wow!  What a fun start to our day we had today! We were extremely lucky to welcome to our class Hannah’s mum, who is a scientist at Glasgow University.

We have been studying the human body and Dr Bellingham very kindly offered to come in and allow us to be scientists with her for the morning.  We we able to share with her all our fantastic knowledge and also learn lots of new and interesting facts.

She brought in microscopes for us to look through.  We got to see what the cells of our organs look like up close.  It was amazing!

We also got to look at lots of different models of our body parts.  We tried to fit them all back together.  The brain was particularly hard to put back together again!

We all had such good fun being mini scientists and many of us are now wanting to be scientists when we grow up.

We would like to thank Michelle for coming in today, it was such a fantastic opportunity for us.  We look forward to her returning to visit us again. 😊
