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 […]
Our whole school Science & Technology Fair took place on the 4th & 5th March 2020. Children from Junior Infants to 6th class took part in the fair. The children presented their experiments and explained their investigations to our visitors. The visitors included children, as well as parents, teachers & families. The experiments presented […]

Before beginning our experiment we needed to get a little bit of background information on magnets, their force, and their uses. With this in mind we did a mini lesson on magnets and magnetism. We learned that in order […]
