Students at a college in the south of the Island have been digging through dung - in the name of science!
King William's college hosted a special science day for pupils from Buchan School with an interest in the subject.
One of their tasks was to diagnose a mysterious illness affecting dogs, by analysing their droppings.
Head of science, Niall Howell Evans says the Year 6 students even managed to solve a murder mystery using forensic science techniques.
