More Science in Rang a 2

Second Class have been very busy doing science experiments. They recently made play doh! They also made airplanes out of paper. STEM in action in Rang a 2.

Science Week 2nd Class

 

First Class- Science Week

First Class had lots of fun this week during Science Week! They tried lots of exciting experiments!
 They made rainbows from skittles. They carried out a leak proof bag experiment! They made
lava lamps. Then they built a fizz inflator and blew up a balloon! It was great fun watching a lunch
 bag explode when they mixed warm water, vinegar and bread soda! They really enjoyed being
scientists this week!

They explored the Materials strand this week and loved it.

Senior Infants Science Week

The children from Senior Infants took part in lots of investigations during Science Week 2018. They explored which materials were attracted to magnets and which ones were repelled. They discovered that raisins "dance" when placed in 7up because of the carbon dioxide (bubbles). They also made their own lava lamps using a mixture of oil, water, food colouring and fizzy tablets. Take a look at the photographs to see some of the children in action.

We're getting started...

Mr Mc Keon's Class have been doing great work in the strands Forces and Materials this month. They have been learning about Friction and also Properties and Characteristics of Materials.
Here we can see they are checking the absorption of different materials.

STEM in Scoil Chlann Naofa

Hello everyone! Welcome to our new Scoil Chlann Naofa Blog. We are going to record our science investigations here. There will also be a STEM link to our science work. This means we will integrate Science with Technology, Engineering and Maths, where appropriate.
