A Taste For Science

The Year 6 classes recently experienced their first taste of high school.
The students had the opportunity to conduct a very “hands on” investigation on digestion in the mouth.  They used pipettes to examine what happens when they put a drop of Iodine on a piece of bread from the packet, and a piece that they had gently held and chewed in their mouths for three minutes.  The experiment was conducted because Iodine is able to determine if starch is present in a food or not.  Overall, the students really enjoyed themselves and we would like to thank Mrs Goch for allowing us the use of her laboratory.  #sciencerocks
