Knock National School

First Class were very busy investigating & experimenting this week, as we celebrated Science Week 2020.

We discovered a rainbow of colours as we dissolved a solid into a liquid state.

We investigated the importance of using soap when washing our hands. We were amazed to see how much the germs disike soap!

We also explored the power of forces & energy as we made rockets & created balloon rockets. We watched in amazement as they whizzed through the air.

We all worked really hard at creating our very own STEM structures, using only marshmallows & spaghetti.

We really had a lot of fun this week

Check out our poor little apple. We have been observing it all week. It has been immersed in water, vinegar and lemon juice. Of course we also have a control to compare our results. We might keep it going for another week and see what happens, yuk!

Lava lamp

We used oil, water, food colouring and a secret ingredient to make our lava lamps

Busy scientists in second class today working on our investigations for Science Week.
We used cornflour, shaving foam and food colouring to make Snow Fluff!
We had great fun.

Check out our amazing silhouettes. Well done second class! Great work.

A massive congratulations to Ross in 5th and Maxwell in 4th class for coming 1st in Ireland yesterday and today in Mathletics, what a fantastic achievement boys. Ross and Maxwell have shown that hard work pays off. What a nice way to finish a successful year, we are all very proud of you.
