Science Matters! Junior Scientists!!

For Science Week we decided to investigate what would happen when raisins were added to jars of sparkling water. Below is a list of our predictions.

We were all very surprised to see dancing raisins!

The Parachute Challenge

6th Class used their knowledge of forces, of air-resistance and gravity in particular, to build their own parachutes before competing against one another to see which was the most effective. Great fun was had by all although synchronised free-fall is easier said than done!! Watch us in action HERE.

Science in 6th….continued

Science in Room 16 today continued with many more interesting experiments

an in classroom volcano
an exploration of the density of various substances
