Year 3 Investigate Sugar in Senior Biology Labs

Year 3 visited the senior school biology labs today to answer the important question: ‘Why do green bananas taste yucky?’.

First, we showed that bread contains starch and jelly babies contain a lot of sugar. We then carried out tests on green, yellow and black bananas. We found that green bananas contained a lot of starch and black bananas contained a lot of sugar. The super Year 3 scientists concluded that the starch in green bananas makes them taste yucky and the sugar in the yellow and black ones makes them taste yummy!

Well done everyone for helping to answer Mrs Wallis’ question.
