Prep and Year One students recently visited the DPI to try out some jobs that Scientists do. They met Dr John and Dr Karl who showed them different grasses and looked at some parts - roots, seeds. The students saw which grasses were good for cows to eat.Each student was given a NLIS tag (National Livestock Indentification Scheme). They became "cows" and when they walked across the scales they were weighed and their name was spelt out.The students also got to examine a pigs heart, lung and liver and a cow's kidney. They then got to look at a termite through a microscope before finally being given a drawing to colour in and a freddo frog to eat. What a GREAT excursion.
