30 children from Boughton Leigh, Rokeby and St Andrew’s Benn Primary Schools enjoyed a morning of Biology and Art as part of National Biology Week.  Under the guidance of Dr Brown, they ran chromatograms from the autumn leaves they collected from the field to look at the different pigments in them.  They then used our microscopes to observe onion epidermis cells which they then drew and painted.

A pupil from Rokeby:

“We did science!  Not like ‘topic’ science in sheets in books – real REAL science – THE BEST SCIENCE EVER!”
