Some of the few main activities that we did for physics last term was dissecting animals and learning about their organs and their purpose. The first animal we dissected was a part of a chicken, and it was its legs. We studied its tendons and how it was connecting from bone to muscles, my group tried looking for its ligaments but we had no idea where to find it. The last animal we dissected was a rat and this was probably the most sickening thing we did for physics this year. We had to cut its stomach open and had a chance to study its stomach on inside. My group and I were probably a bit gruesome on the rat since we cut off its head and arms.
Another experiment we did (which I didn't know the name of) where you had to make a container that could contain water in it and after that we had to place the container with the water inside it on top of a Bunsen burner. and we timed how long it stood on the Bunsen burner without it catching on fire. Our one only took about 12 seconds to burn which was really bad. But the other group that did it lasted for 5 or even 6 minutes without it catching on fire on top of a Bunsen burner.
