Ignite Scanning Electron Microscope

Throughout the week, every Ignite student enjoyed a cross-curricular Science and English lesson based on the book “Where the World Ends”, which the students have been reading.

In the book, some children are stranded on an island where there are lots of puffins, and they stay alive by using things like puffin feathers and eggs. The lesson centred around feathers; students examined feathers and eggshells in the dissecting, and the Hitachi Scanning Electron Microscope. 

There was also a creative writing exercise prompted by the “Birds Of America” book in Liverpool City Library, but the students had to write their response with a feather quill pen!
