It's National Static Electricity Day in the USA today, but why not celebrate right here in Ireland too? Let's explore the wonders of static electricity together!
Grab a balloon, rub it against your child's hair (or your own), and watch the magic happen
Happy experimenting!
As part of Science Week , #Bantrylibrary were thrilled to host an ''Anyone4Science'' event , hosted by Alison Robertson, where 4th class pupils from Our Lady of Mercy N.S participated in a Forces workshop. In this workshop the children made a force meter and tested the strength of jelly sweets. They learned about pulling forces, fair testing, repeatable and reliable testing, and how incredibly strong jelly sweets are!
The children loved taking this hands-on approach to science.

P3,P4,PP1, PP4, PP5 and SC1 took part in fantastic science workshops with @anyone4science it was great fun mixing chemicals and acids while also stinking up the school a little bit. #ScienceWeek
Pupils from Gaelscoil Dr. Uí Shúilleabháin enjoying a workshop with Christine from anyone4science at Skibbereen Library for Science Week 2024.
The Forces Workshop was a great success, both fun and educational. Thank you Christine from everyone.

It was lovely to have 3rd & 4th class from Scoil Naomh Padraig join us for our #Science Week workshop in #Dunmanway Library on Friday. Everyone had so much fun making a force meter and testing the strength of jelly sweets and finding out how incredibly strong jelly sweet actually are!

Last year seismologists around the world spotted a bizarre signal that caused the earth to 'ring' for 9 days. It seemed to be coming from Greenland. Now they've unraveled the mystery...

Great to work with ol' pal @petedekruijff on this for @ABCscience
@simonmlewis I don't like them, particularly at primary level. I think it is important to accept and embrace individuality. People don't look the same and we shouldn't encourage them to try to. As a parent I never sent my kids to school in the uniform unless they wanted to wear it
This week we welcomed back our returning scientists, our new scientists and our new followers. The children have been working on their pipette skills. This term is going to be all about #geology
We had a fab time at our Enormous Crocodile Camouflage Workshop in #ClochaRinceLib with the amazing team from @anyone4science !
20 young readers went on a fun-filled adventure & learned all about the art of camouflage, inspired by Roald Dahl's ‘The Enormous Crocodile’
