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. We explained our work to the other classes, our parents and teachers. We told some carrot jokes too. We were thrilled to be interviewed by RTE News2Day and to see our […]
Junior Infants had wonderful time this year at our First Science Fair. Ms. Keane’s class investigated “All sorts of Sound” for the fair. We explored lots of sounds in the environment and learned all about the families in an Orchestra; String, Woodwind, Percussion and Brass. We made string instruments using a small shoe box, wrapping […]
We made heat sensitive colour changing slime. The slime is made using thermochromic pigment allowing it to change colour based on the temperature of the slime. Thermochromic pigments are available in a wide variety of colours and temperature ranges, so you can change the colour of the slime using cold or hot temperatures. Ingredients: 5oz […]
We had a wonderful day at the Ravenswell Science Fair! We set up our table with our experiments and created a backdrop with all of our Scientific Method material. We broke our class up into 3 different presenting groups so everyone got a chance to present our Light experiments on the day. We’ve been working […]
Today we had good fun still working on our Science Fair entry exploring Light. Question: So we already proved that light travels in a straight line. But does it ever bend? Prediction: We really don’t know! Materials: Tall glass Straws Water Procedure: Fill a tall glass with water. Check that the straw is straight. It […]
First class were very excited to get working on our entry for this years Ravenswell Science Fair. Each class has been assigned a different strand and unit of the Science Curriculum to ensure we’re not all covering the same areas. Our class got “Energy and Forces: Light” 💡 and we’re absolutely delighted!! (Great topic!!😀) We started […]
Ms. Stapleton’s 3rd Class set out to investigate how much sugar is in our favourite drinks. We brainstormed all of the drinks that we could think of. We then tasted some of these drinks to see if we could determine which ones were high or low in sugar from the taste. Next, we voted on […]
We raised €904.70 for Pieta House during Feel Good Week. This has now been sent off to a very good cause. Thanks to everyone for the generosity
This year for our 6th class Science Fair project, we explored forces, and gravitational pull. The question that led our investigation was ‘Does the Steepness of a Slope Effect the Distance a Toy Car Can Travel?’. We worked in groups to establish a fair test to carry out to find a plausible answer to our […]
