Your body works because so many different systems work together. These systems are very complex and scientists still don’t know quite how everything works. You can try out experiments that scientist use to show how your eyes, ears and other senses work, or watch your blood flow and your heart beat! Ever wondered if spit does anything? Try out the experiment to find out! You will be able to do these experiments at home or in school because you don’t need special equipment. Remember to always ask an adult before you start an experiment. Why not send a report of what you have done to the scientists at the APC, or maybe a picture or drawing? Send your scientific report, photo or picture to:MicrobeMagic@ucc.ie Or:
