Study the human body by looking at cells, tissues and organs. In this project you will be linking the many important organ systems from the respiratory and digestive to the reproductive and nervous systems. Discover how your body fights disease through natural defences and vaccinations.

Planet Earth

With elements, compounds and mixtures making up all of planet Earth, learn what these are through a series of hands-on experiments. See how plants use Photosynthesis, how different rocks are formed and lots of other Earth related Science by entering a project at the Darland Science fayre.
