Year 8 Look at Chicken Wings in a new Light

‘Dissecting a chicken wing definitely put us out of our comfort zone but overall it was a rewarding experience. It was a little gross and we felt a bit sick at the end, but it was interesting to see all our classmates reactions! – Aleeya, Audrey, and Immy’
– Audrey Buck

‘In Science we have been learning about bones and muscles in the body. We recently dissected a chicken wing, where we explored many parts, such as the skin, muscles, ligaments, tendons and veins. We even learnt that if you press on the bicep, the chicken wing contracts! It was a little gross, but a really cool way of learning!’
– Grace Thai

‘We found this experiment to be very intriguing to discover and learn about muscles and joints of chicken wing.’
– Ivy Doan

‘We really enjoyed dissecting and studying the anatomy of the chicken wing. It was really fascinating to stimulate movement in the wing by contracting the biceps and other muscles. It was also really fun to look at all the parts in the wing such as the tendons, skin, bones and bone marrow. We’d never really thought of the chicken wing as something that could move around in such a way, and thoroughly enjoyed learning in-depth about how muscles work.’
–Lily Tao, Claudia Rowe and Lauren Liu (Year 8)
