Young Scientist Exhibition

Last Thursday, TYs and second years went on a trip to the BT Young Scientist Exhibition in the RDS. There is a group from TY representing our school in this exhibition. Their experiment was about the 'Ideal Conditions for Learning'.They did their experiment in local primary schools and tested certain variables like lunch, PE, light and music. They were lots of interesting experiments at this exhibition and it was really interesting to look at all of them. Companies like RTE and Road Safety Authority had stands there. The band, Hometown were at the RTE stand and they performed their new single. Ryan Tubridy was also there and people were crowding around him trying to get his picture. We also looked at the Primary School projects, one of them was 'Does the size of your head determine your intelligence?', they measured the size of our heads and in the end the answer was no, it doesn't determine your intelligence, it just depends how you use it. It was a good day out and overall I think people enjoyed it.
