We decided to use 6 drinks and test those. The drinks we chose were; Coffee, Coke, Boost Energy Drink, Milk, Water […]
Mrs. Dillon’s class wanted to investigate sound and where it comes from! All sounds are made through vibrations. These vibrations are carried through the air by particles until they reach our ears. These vibrations are called sound waves. We hear sounds through our ears, when the sound enters our ears they make our eardrum vibrate […]
Our experiment was called ‘On the Go’. We wanted to find out how far a toy car would travel over different types of surfaces.Before the Science Fair, we had to do a lot of research in our classroom. Firstly, we had to choose the best car for the experiment – we had lots of fun […]
In 5th class our theme for the science fair was the environment. We explored how we could use the energy of the sun (solar energy) in different ways. Before the science fair we did an experiment with our student teacher, Ms Carroll, where we placed containers of water (that were sealed with clingfilm) in direct […]
Ms. Crimmins’ Senior Infants class had a great time at Ravenswell Science Fair. The lead up to the Science fair was equally as fun as we experimented with loud and annoying sounds and how to block the sound out using different materials. During the Science Fair we got to show off the knowledge we had […]
‘What do you have with you all the time but leave everywhere you go?’ This year Senior Infants chose to investigate our Fingerprints. We were studying the Garda Station during our Aistear time and we were very interested to see how the Gardaí would take our fingerprints.First we learned all about the four different types […]
In Ms. Semple`s Junior Infants we all enjoyed representing our class at Ravenswell Science Fair. Our first school Science Fair was a great experience.
