What’s happening in Cloghroe NS to celebrate Science Week?
What’s happening in Cork for you and your family to celebrate Science Week?
- As Science Week is 20 years old this year, on Friday 13.11.2015 we are having a Balloon Science Party. Each class will take part in a balloon investigation. We will design balloon-powered cars and rockets and experiment with static electricity, to name but a few balloon investigations. Why not see if you can find a balloon experiment online that your family could attempt at home!
