ESB Science Blast 2022

Science is a huge and vital part of our daily lives. Again this year the pupils of SCM entered the ESB Science Blast Competition. We built our confidence in maths and science through a hands-on experiment investigating the iron in cereals. We actually used magnets to find REAL IRON FILINGS in Rice Krispies. We followed the 5 steps of science investigation: 1. Define a question to investigate 2. Make predictions 3. Gather data 4. Analyse data 5. Draw conclusions. Our students went a step beyond and even produced their own video to show their results. Well done to everyone involved - the judges were super impressed. Another incredible result for the students of SCM.
