On Friday July 12, 6G and L investigated the medical sciences of blood.
We first practiced the procedure of blood typing, learning about and identifying the blood types of several samples of blood substitutes.
You can "B-Positive" that these Somerset scientists found this enlightening.
Next up was microscopic analysis of blood samples. The science department was lucky enough to gain access to lab-grade human blood smears.
I'm sure that the donors would be pleased that our students were being exposed to the "bleeding-edge" of laboratory education.
Standard human blood, Leukaemia, Neutrophilia and Thrombocythemia were analysed for cellular differences, and then compared against bird and frog blood smears.
Throughout this session, our budding biologists' faces were "smeared" with enjoyment.
