Science Week 2018 in Room 10!

We have been   very busy with Science week here in Room 10! 
We carried out a variety of experiments in class  -  from proving that the density of water is in between those of oil and honey, to proving that both oxygen & water are necessary for Iron Oxide (rusting) to occur.
We concluded the week with our own Science Fair. We witnessed some amazing experiments! From making "Lava Lamps", to showing how the chemical reaction of bi-carbonate of soda   can cause a balloon to inflate,  from looking at the real sugar content of "healthy" foods to making  bottles of Coca Cola explode...  we had a huge variety  of exciting experiments!! We were even fortunate enough to watch a 3D printer in action - using computer software and a special type of plastic called 'PLA' - we watched  a 3D Christmas tree come to life!  
Take a look at a few of the highlights from the day!
I'm sure you'll agree that  the future of Science and Engineering here in Galway   is in very safe hands!
