We worked really hard to get our Discovery Primary Science plaque . This involved everyone from Junior Infants up to 6th class. We did experiments and projects in our classrooms, for example making circuits, making switches, parallel circuits and series circuits. We learned about communication and codes. We programmed bug robots to travel around a maze. We made solar microwaves with pizza boxes and cling film to see how global warming effects the world. Ms Fenlon's class made musical instruments and designed boats from materials that would float.

On May 4th, 5th and 6th class participated in a science fair in our school where we presented our experiments and projects to the whole school. We demonstrated many projects such as volcanic eruptions, chromatography , chemical reactions and how lava lamps work. Last week, we received our Discover Primary Science plaque .
