Junior Infants were really excited to do the Skittles Rainbow Experiment this week. (We’re not sure if it was because they love science or couldn’t wait to eat the left over skittles!)

For the experiment we needed
• 1 pkt Skittles

We have been very busy in 5th class this month! We have been doing lots of STEM activities and improving our engineering skills! We worked on engineering a roller coaster made from paper. We have to work on our designs to allow a marble to move along our coaster!
We have also been learning about space this month! We completed a STEM activity creating rockets! We created some lovely space themed art too!
