It was a busy week in Suaimhneas 1 for Science Week.
On Tuesday, we explored gravity and took on the STEAM challenge of constructing a paper helicopter. We learned that gravity pulls the helicopter down. The air resists the movement and pushes up each rotor separately, causing the helicopter to spin. We tested our helicopters from varying heights in the classroom and outside.
On Wednesday, we investigated osmosis using water and gummy bears. We were shocked to see how much our gummy bears had grown the next day.
Today, we were really excited for our Science activity of making slime. Slime is a non-Newtonian fluid. A non-Newtonian fluid is neither a liquid nor a solid. It can be picked up like a solid, but it also will ooze like a liquid.
Check out the snapshots from all our Science activities this week.
