We had a great time last week learning about the journey food takes through our bodies. Everyone was surprised to learn that our small intestines are 6 metres long!<\/p>\n

Later on we had fun exploring the different exhibits on offer. We tried out a thermal camera, a memory game, a multi tasking game, a body puzzle, an X-ray activity and much, much more! One exhibit even showed you what you might look like in 10 years time if you lived an unhealthy lifestyle! It was pretty scary!<\/p>\n

Here is a pretend stomach full of food!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We played a small intestine race. Each person had to squeeze the ball through the small intestine, acting like the muscles pushing real food through the body.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This exhibit showed what happens to your lungs if you smoke cigarettes. It was much harder to pump air into the black lung.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
It was great fun using this special magnifying camera.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
The multi tasking game.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
This machine let us listen to different people breathing. One person had asthma and we had to guess which one it was.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
The memory game involved pushing a sequence of colours in the order shiwn. A new colour was added each time it the sequence which made it it’s tricky!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Great fun was had by all with the thermal camera.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The poor person in this X-ray had barbed wire stuck in their hands! Ouch!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
