Science staff get silly for Biology Week

Science staff dress up to tell Year 11 about Jenner, vaccines and the immune system.

Science Staff at Bishop’s dressed up to tell Year 11 students about vaccinations and the role of the immune system in combating diseases like small pox and the bubonic plague. Activities included seeing how the plague doctor worked during the 18th century, making antibody molecules using pipe cleaners and showing how Jenner used vaccinations to help prevent smallpox. This all linked with the GCSE Biology/Combined Science specification and was great fun for the students to see and participate in, as part of Biology Week 2022.
