Once they formed their chrysalis, we moved them from their tub into their butterfly net so that they could continue to hang vertically and prepare for when they would change into butterflies. After another few...

Welcome to our submission for the Discover Primary Science and Maths award for 2022. This is our 17th year taking part in the Awards and although this school year has been a little different we are starting to get back to “normal”! Once again, we are applying for the Plaque of STEM Excellence. This award is given to schools that carry out extensive work in science, technology, engineering and maths, all of which are very important in St. Peter’s. This is the 8th year that we have had Junior and Senior Infants taking part in the award! It is great to see the young scientists have...

This is all about the brain tricking our eyes to see multiple things. Stand 2: We did an eating experiment where we blocked certain senses to see if...
