Here are some of the experiments that Senior Infants and First Class have carried out over the past few weeks. They tested different materials to see if they were waterproof. Some items that were waterproof were rubber gloves, tin foil and plastic. The children discovered that cotton wool, paper and fabric were not waterproof. 

The boys and girls planted sunflower seeds, and are really enjoying caring for them and watching their plants grow. In order to test what seeds need to grow, the children planted a seed in a pot without soil, another in a pot that was placed in a mini-fridge (no heat), and a seed which will not be given any water. One last seed was planted and placed in a dark cupboard in the classroom (no light). They hope to see how these seeds will compare to the seeds they have planted and are taking care of every day.
