Bronze Duke of Edinburgh’s Award
These 4 Chace students join the other 12 students that have been awarded their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh’s Award since September so far. Well done to all 16 of you!
Body Worlds
During my trip at the Body Worlds Museum, it educated me about the inner workings and mechanisms of the human body and showed me a variety of effects the daily lifestyle choices and risk factors have on our health and nutrition. There was a range of areas of the museum that displayed the different body systems such as the digestive system, the respiratory system, the reproductive system, the cardiovascular system, the locomotive system and the nervous system. In addition to all of that, is showcased how they preserved human bodies using the process of plastination which was also amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to body worlds and would recommend it anyone to who is intrigued about the human body.
