recently organised a Science Day at Parkhill Primary School in Leven.\u00a0 There were 4 workshops on offer to the primary 5, 6 and 7 pupils.\u00a0 Two workshops from the School of Medicine and one each from Physics and Biology.\u00a0 The team comprised of 16 people from the Schools of Medicine, Biology and Physics.\u00a0 The whole day was a great success and the children got really engrossed in the activities of every workshop.<\/p>\n<p>The children found out how whales and dolphins communicated.\u00a0 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3596 alignright\"

real sonar equipment in basins of water to see how they hunted, the children used various equipment to explain how we balance, they carried out flame testing to see atomic colours, Snap circuits and how to make them, they used spectroscopes to look at discharge tubes and draw the atomic emission spectra, and built skeletons and learned what skeletons are made of and why.\u00a0 The feedback from both the teachers and pupils has been very positive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3594 alignright\"
