School wins in Young Scientists

Brannockstown NS 5th and 6th class entered a project on Rocks, Soils & Erosion in the Young Scientists Exhibition.



Under the guidance of their teacher, Miss Sinead Dixon, they studied permeable and non-permeable rocks and the reasons and effects of erosion. As part of their study they even made rocks themselves.



Their stand at the BT Young Scientist Exhibition in the RDS generated great interest -- they were visited by Evelyn Cusack and Ryan Tubridy.



The children were praised by the judges who felt that all the children had a very clear understanding of their project and could answer any questions put to them. They were awarded first prize for Primary Schools in their section. It was a wonderful experience for all.
