Spectacular Soap

The Science Behind It

Different liquids react differently when mixed. Milk consists mainly of water. It also contains fat. Some fluids will be repelled by one another, moving away from one another. Others will be attracted to one another and form bonds.

The soap in the cotton ball is designed to break and split fat up, which is why we use it for washing plates. When the soap interacts with the fat in the milk it breaks its bond with the water and appears to push it to the side of the dish. This is because it has broken the surface tension of the water.

We learned certain substance repel each other and other substances attracts each other

Team Teaching

 We love Team Teaching. We are lucky enough to have Team Teaching in both literacy and numeracy.  It allows us to practice new skills and concepts in small groups.

Truly amazing art work from the pupils of 6th class 

Science

 

 

 

We learned about the three states of matter; solid, liquid and gas. The molecules are closely related to the form the state of matter takes. The molecules in solids are closely packed together and prevent much movement.

We experimented with density and liquids. Some liquids did not mix and therefore stacked on top of each other. Other liquids mixed and caused an irreversible chemical reaction.

Historic Buildings

Take a look at the fantastic projects completed by the pupils of 6th class. The subject is historic buildings of Ireland. The drawings are outstanding and the information accurate and interesting. 

We are all connected

 


This activity showed us that we are all connected in some way. Everyone spoke about themselves, when someone shared an interest, characteristic, love, dislike, favorite, talent or anything they said the words “me too”. The wool was tossed to the “me too” while holding onto a piece
of the wool. We always celebrate our differences, this activity was nice to demonstrate we are connected in someway as one in the classroom.
