Content

  • In this block we will learn about about DNA and bodily fluids. The session will be a mix of demos, interactive quizzes alongside join in at home experiments and paper-based activities. We will be covering presumptive blood test and blood patterns. I always very mindful of the age groups that I am working with and will not be presenting overly graphic scenarios or pictures. However, if your young person faints at the sight of blood this may not be for them.

  • 1. To learn about the composition of blood and blood group typing. 2. To explore blood as evidence, confirmatory tests and patterns. 3. To learn about the structure of DNA and techniques used to investigate it. 4. To understand how DNA can be recovered from evidence and used to identify suspects. There will be a kit that you can order to go with these sessions direct from Dr Laura if you would like to do so.

“I can’t thank you enough for starting this group Amy. You gave me back my happy (not so little anymore) boy. Thanks to this group he’s realised he’s not the stupid, naughty kid that school made him believe he was. His sister is on school holidays and he’s doing recorded lessons by choice. Xxxx ”

“This group is without doubt an absolute blessing. Fantastic classes with amazing teachers at an extremely reasonable price. I for one am so thankful to you and your team for everything you all do. We appreciate the hub so much and are very grateful xx ”

Claire, Parent

“Our family are full time travellers and the hub is a life line for us. The children get to see and speak to adults who show a real interest in their learning and their lives. They get to pick lessons that they are interested in and have fun learning something new. The social hub was a real life line for us too. My 3 have made friends and love getting to chat to children and adults daily too. ”
