Whoa! Bam! Experimenting Time!!!

They’re back again! The CSIRO people are back. They are from the Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organisation. This time we are learning about the Human Body. It was the funnest thing. Here are the things we had to do which was part of the Human Body:

• First, we had to do the rocking footstep. We had to step onto it with our feet apart from each other and rock on it. We had to try to balance our selves on it. I don’t think we were allowed to fall off it.
• Soon after, we had to try looking under the Microscope and putting our finger under it to see if there was: Dots of sweat, lines, or even little pieces of dirt.
• Next there were the Disgusting tissues. We had to Taste a different kinds of flavours of a TISSUE. The colours were: Pink, blue, yellow, and light green. The pink tissue tasted like pure sour, the green tasted bitter, the yellow tasted bitter (we thought it will at least taste like lemon) and the blue tasted bitter. Nearly all of them were bitter.
• Then, there was the EYEBALL! We had to see the inside of the eyeball and had to see what the inside looked like.
• Later, there was the Heart Beater! We had to put our thumb on the watch and measure our heart beat! Then after we got the number we had to leave it and go run a lap or two. We came back and we measured it again to see if it goes UP or DOWN.
• Finally, there were the colourful glasses. WOW! It’s amazing! We had this sheet that you have NO clue of what it is. So they put us these colour glasses which we had to put them on and look at the sheet. WOW! There was the picture right there. We can see it clearly and better than before. The colours of the glasses were: Red, blue and green.

My favourite part of the CSIRO was when we had to taste the tissue and when we had to look through the glasses. I hope the CSIRO people come back to teach us more about the human body!
