Science day!

It was Science day today and there was lots interesting lessons and experiments happening. From collecting people's fingerprints for solving a crime, to understanding how to melt chocolate in a solar powered cooker... there was a real buzz around the school!

It was only fitting that the members of Art Club created some Science inspired work today too.

Firstly, we learnt a few facts about the human skeleton, such as an adult human body contains 206 bones!

Students were set the challenge to create their very own X-rays!

We worked in the Science room and were lucky enough to have skeletons to help us with our still life drawings, and also a light box with several X-ray sheets.

White chalk and black card were the only equipment used.

What an amazing lesson... one of my favourites to date! :)
