​​Build a Geodesic Dome

The Senior Room enjoyed two MakerMeet STEAM Workshops which were live streamed into thir classroom. Chris from MakerMeet worked with the teacher to assist the children to build a paper circuit and a Geodesic dome. The children really enjoyed the opportunity to experiment and learn. Thanks to Cavan Monaghan Science Festival 2020 and Johnston County Library for providing us with this wonderful opportunity. ​

Make a Paper Circuit

Paper Tower Challenge

​There were great feats of engineering taking place in First, Second and Third Class when Chris from MakerMeet worked with the teacher and children to build a paper tower which would hold 100g of rice. The workshop explored friction, weight distribution, balance, equilibrium, Newton’s Laws of Motion, and fundamental concepts of engineering.

Science Week in the Junior Room
We linked Science Week to our Aistear Theme "The Café". We made our own play dough and then used it to make cookies for the hungry customers. We also did a Magic Milk experiment. It was so cool to watch the colours mixing!

​AgriKids Be Farm Safe

On Tuesday the Junior Room enjoyed a Zoom call from Alma Jordan the founder of AgriKids. Alma read one of her stories and pointed out many of the dangers on the farm to the children. We learned that we should never visit a farm without an adult and that animals and farm machinery can be dangerous. ​

​Junior Einstein's Science Club

​We learned how scientists solve crimes with the Junior Einsteins Science Club. We set up a crime scene and played a scientist detective to find out who the culprit was! Using fingerprinting, black lights, tooth marks, moulding and shoe rubbings we had great fun in this exciting and informative session.
