The children in Year 5 visited Lord Lawson of Beamish Academy to take part in a Science lesson about cells.
The children created their own slides using a layer of onion and a droplet of iodine and then studied the cells found within an onion under the microscope. The children were fascinated by what they could see. They then explored the cells within other objects such as hair, muscles and plant cells and they could explain how the details changed as they increased the magnification of the microscope.
