Design and Make a Paper Aeroplane
The children were also asked to design paper planes using an A4 sheet with no staples or tape. Mrs Bouzzah tested each groups paper planes in the hall to see which one flew the farthest.- Roy Eze, Ben Smith & Lee Donnelly constructed the most successful paper aeroplanes in 2nd class.
- Dylan Stuart, Ross Gaffney, Brian Ndongala & Conor Darcy were the successful aeroplane engineers from 1st Class
Guess the weight
Left over from Halloween, the children guessed the weight of a pumpkin. They used a 1kg to help them guess the correct weight.- 18 pupils correctly guessed the pumpkin weight as 3kgs
Science Stations
The fun continued in the hall when the exhibition tables were set up. The children explored amongst other things magnets, thumb prints, floating & sinking and identifying fruit and vegetables. A big hit was the "Yawning Table" where the pupils explored whether yawning is contagious-the general consensus being that yes indeed it is!
The Yawning Table
Why not look out for some interesting programmes about science on tv or borrow science books from the library. You can also visit www.scienceweek.ie for more information or use the hashtag #scienceweek on twitter to view some interesting projects taking place around the country.
Thanks to Mrs Bouzzah who oversaw yet another successful Science Week with her usual enthusiasm and excitement.
