Today, Craig and Greg from Otago University and Otago Museum came to visit us to teach us about the Science of Medicines. Each class took turns visiting them to find out more.
Vani got to add in liquid into a test tube, 3 different times, which changed the colour in there to show how antibiotics work.
Liam, Jonty and Zephy got to drop different types of pills into liquid to see how fast the reaction time was.
Layla, Kaliah-Rose, Emma and Sinead got to throw ‘covid’ at dolls to see if they would fall, and the whole class played covid ker-plunk.
After that we all got to look around at the different things that they had brought. We got to look at things under the microscopes, and used a computer and iPads to look around at images of illnesses as well as play different games.
There was also a 3D model of the covid bug.
We learnt lots!
