Body workshop

We took part in a workshop from The Glasgow Science center. It was all about the body. The first part was called Disgusting Digestion.  We learned about healthy food choices and how food passes through the body.

Willum’s Mam

Willum’s (from P1/2) Mam Louise came in to speak about her job as a Pharmacist. She brought in lots of different types of inhalers and did a quiz to see if we knew the difference between types of sweeties and types of medicine. It wasn’t as easy to tell as we thought!

Merryn’s Mam

Merryn’s Mam visited our class to speak about her job as a Physics teacher. We learned about the 3 sciences taught at high school: biology, chemistry and physics.

We learned about different organs in the body, what a chemical reaction is and how to safely light a Bunsen Burner.

We also learned about the different types of jobs you can get when you study science.
