It’s Electrifying!!

Yesterday we learned a lot about electricity. We talked about the dangers and how to be safe around electricity. It was a lot of fun. It was a lovely surprise. We got wires, batteries, light bulbs and our task was to make the bulb light. We learned about the positive and negative ends of the battery. We learned that it was important where you put the wires on the light bulb and that we needed a battery to make them all work. Then we got a buzzer and put it into our circuit. Mrs Clancy said it sounded like the traffic during rush hour in Naas when everybody had their buzzers connected! Then we connected a motor with a propeller on it. It was spinning around. We loved it! Ms Molyneaux’s class love Science!

Judge’s visit

One judge has come to us so far. We’re expecting another one soon. We feel we did a good job! He asked us lots of different questions. He was very friendly and talkative. Lots of people who work at Intel have visited us also. Brian a dad of two children  in our school came to see us. All good so far!

Hi Sophie and Isabella here. We are very excited and a bit nervous today because we are at the Miniscientist in Intel. Our project is called Pollution Solution. We left school at 8.30 this morning and came on the bus with Mr O’Connor and Mrs Keane.  We have set up our project and we’ve just been told that we’ll have two judges. Oh dear one is coming now! We’ll let you know how we’re getting on.
