P6A’s STEM Visit to Holyrood High School

We had a brilliant time on our visit to Holyrood RC High School on Tuesday. We got to visit the DET classrooms and use saws and sandpaper to make our own keychains and then we visited a Biology classroom where we investigated using microscopes. We even got to learn about how to safely use a Bunsen Burner!

P6A STEAM Parachute Building Challenge

As part of our Science Forces topic we have been exploring air resistance. Today we enjoyed fine tuning the parachutes we designed and built in groups. We then took them to the top of the library stairs to test how well they travelled (and landed). Many of us were proud of our designs and pleasantly surprised with how well they worked!
