      I really liked an experiment where you collect a chemical, known as an enzyme, that is called catalase from potatoes. You can then use this to do an experiment breaks down a chemical called hydrogen peroxide. You can measure lots of things about this reaction, like how quickly it happens. I now use similar experiments in my work as a scientist!

      At school we got to dissect a piglet- it was really interesting to see all the organs. It was a bit sad too though. I don’t think you’re allowed to dissect animals in class anymore which is a shame as it’s really cool

      When I was at school we got to dissect a rat which I really enjoyed and learnt a lot from, although it was quite gruesome.

      I love to prepare the slide from onion peels and to look it under the MICROSCOPE to study the CELL STRUCTURE
