Lung alveoli, SEMCredit: EYE OF SCIENCE/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARYAlveoli in a human lung. Each alveolus is a site for gas exchange between the air in the air sac and the blood in adjacent capillaries. Red blood cells (erythrocytes) can be seen through the walls of the alveoli.

Gills of an asian conchCredit: SUSUMU NISHINAGA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARYGills of an asian conch (family Viviparidae), also known as a mystery snail. This edible, live-bearing snail does not have lungs, living exclusively in water. The gills, which extract dissolved oxygen from the water, are found in the snail's mantle cavity.

YeastCredit: EYE OF SCIENCE/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY Brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). This fungus consists of single vegetative cells. Small daughter cells can be seen budding off from the larger cell. S. cerevisiae ferments sugar, producing alcohol and carbon dioxide in the process.

WritingDry Ice!

I am confusingly cold.As white as muddy snow, rolling

Diamonds glinting in the sun. I bash, dent and chip.Sticky substance to touch, it burns, it hurts,

It curls and swirls. Floating boxes, drifting along,Thousands of doors to open with a creak.

I crackle like falling caves. When I open my steamy souls.Dark and dangerous I can be. Crosses you notice all over me.

My end is near, heat I fear!DRY ICE!I shout

I’m an alien spying on you.My half open eyes are splitting chestnuts.

I’m the very garden you play on.My cheeks are hairy veins.

I’m a monster ready to grab you!My face is like a chameleon.

LEAVESBy Imogen Lee

It oozes and sucks,The mud glints in the sun,

Poisoned, polluted,Sucking down its helpless, struggling victims.

Swirling treacherous waters,Like portals to other worlds,

Thick black mud holds people down,As the deadly waters choke them to death.

The bubbles floating on their voyage,Through scummy waters,

Are like frogspawnThat will never hatch.

But then the sun comes out,The marsh is defeated,

It retreats,And sinks back into the soil.
