Primary School Food Testing

Just before Christmas, Year 3 from Four Oaks Primary School visited Liverpool Life Sciences UTC to take part in practical food tests. In their science lessons, they have been working on nutrition.

To compliment this learning, they came to do a practical session to identify what tests are done for four of the food groups.

Each pair of students tested a series of solutions and managed to correctly identify what food group they belonged to. They completed two dip tests with test strips for both glucose and protein. They also did tests for starch and fats by adding solutions to their samples and mixing them. While this went on, the students were extremely sensible and followed all the safety rules for the sessions.

Throughout this session, a group of our Year 10 scholar students have been helping run each session. It has been extremely enjoyable, and it is great that they are willing to support younger learners.
