A huge well done to the children in the senior building who participated in Science Blast this year! They worked incredibly hard in preparation for today and should be so proud of themselves! 

We came home with 4 Science Blast plaques this year!
Congratulations to Ms Ryan, Ms Stephenson, Ms Fogarty and Ms Whelan’s classes. 

Each group:
 Chose their own testable question.
 Predicted the outcome.
 Researched their topic.
 Carried out a fair test investigation.
 Presented their findings.
 Evaluated possible changes and explored future testable questions.

Our testable questions were: 
-Which coloured paper makes you remember best? (Ms Stephenson 4th Class).
-Does playing video games improve brain power? (Ms Ryan 4th Class).
-What protective design best protects an egg from breaking when dropped? (Ms Whelan 5th Class).
-Does our sense of smell impact our taste? (Ms Fogarty 5th Class). 

Maith sibh!
