Magic milk

Image
 This is our magic milk project.... For this project we used milk,glitter and washing up liquid. We had such fun watching the glitter explode the only thing was it only worked once.                                              Patrick and Lauren tried and succeed.                                                                                This is Roisin pouring the milk in the plate.                                     We showed it to the older room and they were shocked.                                ...

Discover how strong the plastic Polymer is.

Image
  MY SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION- HOW STRONG IS THE ZIP LOCK BAG: BY DONNACHA COLLINS 6 TH CLASS We learned about a chemical compound called polymer. Polymers are made up of long chains of molecules that are flexible. Plastic is a type of polymer. Plastics are bendy and stretchy because of their flexible- molecules chains. Equipment: Zip lock bag, water and sharpened pencils.   My Predictions: I think the water will burst out of the bag.   Method: First, fill the zip lock bag ¾ full of water. Seal the bag. Then, stick the pencils through the bag and find out what happens.   Results: We put through 32 pencils and it was successful and I was surprised it didn’t explode.   What I Have Learnt: I learnt that plastic is strong and I learnt the more the pencils the weaker the plastic gets.   We enjoyed doing the experiment. 

How many drops of water will a coin hold

We wanted to find out how much water does a coin hold. We used droppers to help us in our experiment.                                                                                                                                    We estimated how much drops would the coin hold.   We had great fun doing this experiment and we really enjoyed it.  We were surprised by our results.   

Science trail

  We had great fun doing a science trail outside. We worked collaboratively to crack the code for each challenge.It got a little bit competitive!                                                 We all got  excited  trying to see who would get the question first.                                                                                         We had great fun doing the trail and we really enjoyed it.
