Science Week

We love Science in Muinteoir Claire's Class. This year we learned about different scientists, such as Copernicus, Eienstein, Marie Curie, and Issac Neuton. We also carried out some experiments! We were lucky that we had been practicing procedural writing during the week, so we were able to write out our experiments perfectly! 

The first experiment we did was how to make a lava lamp. We figured out that water and oil don't mix, and by adding an alka seltzer tablet to the mix, we created a lava lamp! We also added some blue food colouring so that we were able to see this clearly. 

Next, we wanted to prove that water travels up the stem in plants, to get to the petals of the flowers. To prove this, we got some beautiful white flowers and placed them in various food colourings. We left them for a few days and you will see the results in the pictures!
