Perfect Pythagoras

After successfully passing their unit 1 maths NAB the S2 Int 1 class have moved on to take the theory of Pythagoras by storm. We had great fun investigating the triangle, squaring the values of each side and working out how they related to each other. Eventually we discovered that:

a2 +b2 = c2

S1 Insulation Investigation

We are currently looking at 'Staying Warm' in S1 science. We have ben designing an investigation to determine which, of a variety of substances, is the best insulating material. Our experiments involved filling beakers with hot water and wrapping them with various materials. We then took the temperature of the water at regular intervals to measure which materials trapped the heat from the beakers and kept the water hot the longest.... results to follow!

P7/S1 Investigations

This term P7/S1 are continuing to look at various forms of energy under the title of 'Keeping Warm'. It seems a really appropriate title as the weather has been so cold recently! We will be looking at types of insulation and measuring the effect on temperature of various insulating materials! If you want to know how to bring down your gas/electricity heating costs - just ask anyone in P7 or S1!
