Eolaíocht sna hárdranganna/Science in the senior classes

24/4/2013

Bhí na hardranganna ag obair mar eolaithe le cúpla seachtain anuas, mar chuid den chlár Discover Primary Science. D'fhreastalaíodar ar chéardlann eolaíochta i Lifetime Lab faoi theas. Dhéanadar iniúchadh ar dhlús uisce, leictreachas (ag dearadh 'is ag déanamh soilse tráchta) agus ar mheascadh ábhair trí lampaí lava a chruthú. Féach thíos ar na pictiúir.

Our senior classes have been very busy in recent weeks learning as scientists, as part of the Discover Primary Science programme. They attended a workshop on heat in Lifetime Lab. They carried out various experiments on water density, electricity and mixing materials. They designed and created traffic lights and lava lamps. Have a look at their amazing science projects below.

Bhí na naíonaín bheaga gníomhach an tseachtain seo ag cur síolta agus ag plandáil bláthanna. Bhí an aimsir go deas agus thapaíodar an deis seo chun am a chaitheamh lasmuigh ag maisiú na scoile lena gcuid bláthanna agus plandaí. Tháinig cúpla tuistí iontacha isteach freisin chun cabhrú leo. Go raibh maith agaibh a pháistí as ucht an scoil a dhéanamh níos dathúla don samhradh!

Junior infants made the most of the good weather this week and decided to spruce up the school with some plants and flowers! They were busy planting plenty of flowers, with the help of some kind parents, and making our school look lovely and colorful for the summer season! Thank you for your efforts a pháistí!

Don chlár Discover Primary Science bíonn ranganna 3 agus a 4 fíor-ghnóthach ag déanamh turgnaimh. Dhéanamar staidéir ar ábhair agus domhaintarraingt. Fuaireamar amach cad é an páipéír is fearr chun uisce a shú agus cén fáth. Freisin, bhíomar ag dearadh agus ag déanamh pairisiút mar chuid dár bhfiosrúcháin ar dhomhaintarraigt.

As part of the Discover Primary Science programme third and fourth class are busy experimenting in science. We were studying absorption in materials and the force of gravity. We found out, through a fair test, which paper is the best at absorbing water and why. We also designed and made parachutes as part of our investigations on gravity.
