Bodyworks visit

Last week we had a visit from the Bodyworks people and took part in workshops called Disgusting Digestion.  Here are some photos. We discovered the journey that food makes from the moment it goes into our mouths until we digest it and then get rid of it through our body waste.  It was pretty disgusting!

In the afternoon we took part in a workshop to look at how other parts of our body functions.  We found out about heat imaging and where our bodies hold the most heat.  We found out how our brain multitasks to help us do lots of things while controlling other things. We looked at healthy lungs and unhealthy lungs, bones and x-rays, organs within our bodies and many other things.  It was great fun and very interesting!
