We marked Science Week 2024 from Monday 11th to Friday 15th November.  👩‍🔬🔬

Science Activities around the school

The selection of experiments includes the following:

The Skittles Experiment where it’s examined what happens when skittles and warm water are mixed.

The “Volcano Experiment” where the reaction that happens when you mix vinegar and bicarbonate of soda is investigated. 🌋

The coke and mentos experiment.

The “Build a Boat that will float” challenge.

Bubbles within bubbles experiment where the challenge is to make as many as possible without them popping.

The fingerprint investigation where it was examined how to use forensics to solve a crime.

The rain cloud in a jar experiment.

The jumping rice experiment.

The effects certain liquids have on eggs 🥚, with the shell resembling our teeth. 🦷

We also had quizzes, art work and much much more.

6th Class completed a Virtual Mad Scientist Showcase again this year. Their experiments were recorded and the links were forwarded to each class so they could watch them. It was an amazing show and the class did a great job explaining each experiment.

Well done everybody, it was certainly a Science Week to remember! 🧑‍🔬👩‍🔬🔬🧪🔎
