Online Science Competitions during lockdown
ReelLIFE Science @Home Competition
Well done to Karolis Rute and Kevin Dapkus who entered the Reel Life Science @ home competition. The two 2nd year students worked very hard on their video despite the challenge of working in separate houses during lockdown. They showed great collaboration and on line teamwork skills to produce a film. The film is entitled ‘Leuk-O’Cyte’ and it is a poem and animation about how White Blood Cells work to defend our bodies. The judges commented “We really enjoyed your animations in this video and the voiceover was clear. The Science was concise and easy to understand and this would be very useful to teachers to explain the concept of white blood cells in class”. Watch the video here:

Well done to 1st Year student Amy Jo Kierans and 2nd Year student Rebecca Murphy who both enter Scifest @college online this year. Amy Jo’s project was ‘A study into cow milk production during social isolation’. Despite the uncertainty around Covid-19 Amy Jo still completed her project within a 2km radius of her home and followed all HSE guidelines. Rebecca’s project was ‘A study into how different coloured paper influences identical twins learning’. This project was carried out at home with her twin sister Leah. Well done girls we are very proud that you represented our school in this competition during the coronavirus pandemic.
