In the senior Cedars class we have been learning about states of matter and the properties of each of the different states. We have watched videos describing the different states and their properties. You might like to watch these videos too. They were very interesting. We also discussed how different states feel, sorted objects and […]
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 […]
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 […]
At the beginning of last year, 4th Class were lucky to be chosen to go to UCD on a tour and also learn more about Science! We went on a tour around all the buildings around the UCD campus and also got to have a look at their sport facilities! It was great to see […]
Ms. Mulcahy’s 4th Class worked hard over the past couple of months preparing for the BT Young Scientist. We, in 4th class, are extremely aware of the environmental issues in the world at the moment so our aim was to explore different energy forms. We decided to explore electricity. We looked at all different forms […]
Welcome back 4th Class. It’s so lovely to see everyone back after the summer! We are very excited to get back into school life and routines. We are looking forward to learning lots of new things this year. We have lots of things planned for the coming year! Lots of STEM projects, coding and team […]
Plastic wrappers – they’re on everything! From crisp packets to bags of chopped apples, chocolate bars to the cling film wrapping on vegetables in the shops, it’s hard to avoid it. And where does most of it end up? In the dump. 5th class came across a very interesting project being run by Seal Rescue […]
Junior Infants are learning all about the plant and what it needs to grow. We sowed some French Beans and Cress seeds…Have a look at the progress so far 🙂
Experiment Title: Inspector Detector Our experiment involved exploring the force of both magnets and magnetic fields. 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 […]
We have been very busy this week in 2nd class practicing being young scientists and conducting our sugar cube experiment! We worked on the Materials strand and investigated Properties and Characteristics of Materials. We wanted to identify and investigate materials that absorb water and those that are waterproof and hopefully we could answer the question: […]
