On January 9th, 2014, the pupils from 6th class in Gowran NS participated for the first time in the Primary Science Fair, which takes place as part of the Young Scientist Exhibition in the RDS. They were busy last term investigating their submission – “Can we drop an egg from a height and not let it break?” – and then displayed their results on their stand, ably demonstrating their theories to the judges, media and spectators who attended.The children were presented with a lovely glass trophy. A wonderful day was had by all and we are very proud of their achievements. Many thanks to their teachers, Ms.Natasha Phelan and Ms. Niamh O' Connell for their time and commitment and to our caretaker Jim for his help with the testing.

Some of the judges comments:
"Beautifully presented...... provoked a great understanding of the concepts of gravity, mass etc..............a real sense of developing and improving the invention in the context of ideas relating to shock absorption, size etc.......... really original ideas from the students."
