My favourite science lesson was one biology class in secondary school – we got to dissect a rat! It was a bit gross to do, but also very interesting. Once we opened the rat’s tummy up, we could see all of its organs really clearly and understand a lot about how an animal’s body works.
In a similar way, I do this today as a human archaeologist – I focus on people from the past and not animals, and I study the skeletal system!
