A 43% increase in applicants saw the 2015 RDS Primary Science Fair oversubscribed by 130%, with half of the schools being first time entrants.
This January over 2,700 4th, 5th and 6th class students from across the country will be at the RDS Primary Science Fair (PSF). Among the schools taking part are the following Irish-medium/Gaeltacht primary schools: Scoil na Maighdine Muire Gan Smál, Camus, Gaelscoil Eois, Cluain Eois, agus Gaelscoil Aonach Urmhumhan, Gort Lán Rua, an tAonach. Their class projects will answer interesting questions such as ‘Blas. Cén fáth go n-athraíonn sé?’, ‘Which citric fruit has the most Vitamin C? Is it lemon, grapefruit, orange or lime?, and ‘What impact has sugar on your fitness level?’
Representing 26 counties from Ireland north and south, the 120 primary school class projects at the PSF will display at the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition 8-10 January.
