A special visit from a Scientist!

Lilac class were very lucky to have a special visit from one of our parents Amy who is a microbiologist. 

The children were so interested to find out what a microbiologist does and how they look carefully at bacteria, viruses and microbes that are invisible to the eye. 

The children got to carry out their own experiment where the placed their hands inside an agar plate. Amy will take these plates to her laboratory and see what bacteria we have on our hands and send us some photos to examine.  







We also carried out a second experiment where we made our own gas to blow up a balloon. Can you remember what 3 ingredients we used?



Many thanks to Amy for giving up her time to come and work with us. We really appreciate it!
