Our KS3 students had an amazing opportunity to visit The Center of the Cell this year

Centre of the Cell is a science education centre at Queen Mary, University of London. It is the first science education centre in the world to be located within working biomedical research laboratories. The learning Pods are based at the Blizzard Institute in Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, so our students had an opportunity to see scientists at work as they enter.

 Our students learnt about the amazing world of cells, the human body and the latest medical research. For example: The nucleus is like the remote-control centre of the cell. It acts as the cell's brain by telling it what to do, how to grow, and when to reproduce. The nucleus is home to the cell's genes. A membrane, a thin layer that allows chemicals to pass in and out to the rest of the cell, surrounds the nucleus.
