Discovery Science – Step 5 – Castlerea Enterprise Town

We were one of the 120 businesses, community groups and clubs to exhibit at Castlerea Enterprise Town. The event took place in the sports hall of Castlerea Enterprise Hub on 9th & 10th of December. There was lots to keep the crowds entertained with a visit from Minister Denis Naughten, the Castlerea Brass Band, Rachel Allen, local professionals and Santa but to name a few!

Discovery Science – Step 2 – Technology – Using PowerPoint and Making Videos

We discovered how to make lemonade fizzy and 5th and 6th class decided to make a PowerPoint based on the scientific process we used. We made a title page, a page listing the materials, a page for our hypothesises, a page detailing our procedure and a results/ conclusion page.

The children also created videos of the children forming their hypothesises.What did Jack think?  See here!
