Excitedly, our Laboratory Technician Ebony Wyatt came to my door this morning to inform me that this week in Year 9 science classes, the students would be learning the skills associated with dissection. She invited me to drop by and see the students in action; which I did.
Looking the part, all students were entirely engaged as I entered the science laboratory to find out how they were going with this first time science experience. Complete with science laboratory coats, gloves and scalpels, the students were using a step by step guide to dissect the fish with method and precision. I did ask a few of the students if they thought that a science laboratory could be a place they could work in, in the future; most were hesitant but felt that medicine could be an option.
