This week we began the hands on part of our Science Inquiry unit, The Human Body! This unit links strongly to our explanation writing unit this term and will be the inspiration for many of our pieces.
On Monday we investigated the digestive system and replicated the process with baked beans, sponge cake, and liquids to represent elements such as bile and enzymes. Miss McGowan did the demonstration without gloves much to everyones disgust!
On Tuesday, we dissected sheep's eyeballs in groups. There were a lot of oohs and aahs, breaks to get some fresh air for those who felt queasy, but most importantly lots of fun hands on learning! As we dissected the eyeballs we learnt the names of different parts, and some of their functions. Room 6 is looking forward to more dissections next week!
