Centre of the Cell

An amazing turn out for today's trip to Centre of the Cell (in fact a few too many people turned up, so big thanks to the parents who waited patiently while their children went into the pod!).

Families learned so much today...apparently we have 10 000 taste buds and we produce a litre of saliva per day - urgh! And who would have thought when you eat a hot chilli your body temperature goes down, and when you eat a cool mint your body temperature increases? And finally we have about 70 trillion cells in our body - mind boggling stuff.

The trip was part of Stepney Partnership's programme of holiday activities. Why not check out Centre of the Cell by yourself. It is an amazing place to learn about science, it is free, and we are lucky enough to have it on our doorstep!
