Science Week in 5th Class

5th class were busy this week with science week. We read about different famous Irish scientists, watched a vlog on the life of a scientist and conducted some experiments of our own. 

Monday: We investigated the density of liquids mixing honey, oil, washing-up liquid, water and milk. 

Tuesday: We made cars using household items and balloons to propel our cars.

Thursday: We investigated friction, using small toy cars and surfaces with different textures. We wanted to see if the surface affected how far the car would travel. 

Friday: In art, we made spinning tops to investigate blending colours together. 

We had a great week!
