I am going to do a model of Florence Nightingale, with a small grave stone made out of Mod Roc saying who she was, what she did and how she died.

Joseph

I am going to do a puppet show of Dr John Snow
with 5 or so puppets of John snow and victims talking to them. I will write a script that will tell the audience about his important discovery.

It was the turn of Joseph Lister this week. We researched on the internet and in texts. We found out that he is known as 'The Father of Antiseptic Surgery'.
