The Eyes

eyes 2
The young people were very excited in the preceding weeks and learnt all about the structure and functions of the parts of the eye. On the day, only the dedicated ones could see the dissection through - I also had to leave after we squeezed the vitreous humour out!

Lung Dissection

This week we looked at how some key organs fit together. The lungs and how the trachea is connected to each lobe as well as how the lungs are connected to the heart.

Heart Dissection

Students at LW examined and dissected hearts. It was fascinating to see the arteries and veins and especially the valves. Everyone got involved, even the doctors 🙂 Lots of fun had by all!

Young people at Lavender Walk along with our Community students learnt about plastics and polymers. We went on to make our own biodegradable plastics. We first used milk for the polymers then we tried using polymers from starch.
