Scientist Janice Patrick had collected a lot of different flowers and plants for us to look at under giant magnifying glasses. We were able to see the petals, stigma stamin and pollen up close.
We visited Dave a chemist in his laboratory. He showed us how to quickly freeze a kiwifruit using liquid nitrogen.
Biff a scientist (who just happens to be the owner of Speights the lunch area cat at Brooklyn School) showed us how she was researching how to store pears without them becoming bruised and yucky.
She rubbed the pears on the bench and bruised the pears and then the next day looked at how brown they had become. Super markets do not like buying brown bruised pears.
We had a great time at Plant and food Research. Thank you Janice, Biff and Dave.
