The KLA Lab

Ever stopped to wonder how clever your brain is?

Pupils will take a closer look at the different parts of the brain and their purpose.

They’ll see the brains of different animals and work out which brain belongs to which animal.

The pupils will then perform ‘brain surgery’ to finish the workshop using specialist tools.
