My sense of humour might not be what I thought it was

Mitosis from thesciencefloor on Comiqs

I’m not sure how often I’m supposed to post to this, or even if there is a ’supposed to’, for now I’m going to assume this new blog is my play ground for all the new ttp toys, and mostly, to the delight of the BTEC students, we’ve been playing with comiqs. One group is going to recreate either William Withering or Edward Jenners early forays into medicine. One student is particularly excited by taking photographs on his camera of his friend re-enacting having cowpox pus plastered on his arm. I, personally, am a more than a little grateful that it is a homework task.

 The other group, interestingly, are going to try to represent hormonal control of blood sugar. This isn’t at all an easy task, but already they’ve been coming up with some wonderful ideas. For representing homeostatic balance we’ve discussed the stasis field around the star ship enterprise, a tight rope walker, the scales of justice and rather bizarrely a ballerina hippo….

It can all look as out there as they like, as long as the science is right, I’m one very happy Biology teacher.
