The RDS Primary Science Fair provides an opportunity for primary school students to think about science in practical, fun ways. The emphasis is to encourage a positive learning experience for each class and to inspire students to see science as exciting, challenging and fun. Pupils from 6th class St. Oliver’s N.S. Carlingford participated in this year’s RDS Primary Science Fair. Their project, “Practical Science Experiments”, was on display in the RDS on Saturday 14th of January. The class worked on four science experiments and they impressed the judge with their research and their knowledge and interest.
Their investigation into the volume of MP3 players belonging to fellow pupils was of particular interest; they found that, on average, most pupils listen to their MP3 players at a level equal to 95 decibels; anything over 85 decibels is considered dangerous to our hearing. They also investigated the insulating properties of several different materials (tin foil, bubble wrap, newspaper and a cotton sock) and another temperature related experiment on keeping warm during cold weather. Their final experiment investigated different methods of emptying liquids from bottles to find out which method was the fastest.
The judge commented on the clarity and quality of the display of their work and also on how well they engaged with the public visitors to their stand in the RDS.

Congratulations to one of our pupils who won second place in the recent Credit Union (Chapter 5) competition.
