Science Week

The girls of Second Class had a very busy week during Science week. They engaged with the online class from Science Foundation Ireland and completed the ‘Soil in my Pants’ experiment. The girls wanted to find out how healthy the soil is around our school so they chose two locations to test on the school grounds. They then planted a pair of pants in each location (these are made from cotton). The girls will dig up the pants in January to see how they have held up or if we had very hungry worms in our soil. They joined forces with Ms. Freeborn’s class and investigated famous scientists that were displayed around the school. Using the QR code next to each scientist, they learned lots of facts about these famous inventors. They also visited the Science Fair held by Sixth Class. They got to witness explosions and test items that float and sink.
