The Blackrock ETSS Science Club is a group of students who share a common interest in science. Every week the students complete different experiments that they would not get the chance to do in science class. Science club promotes curiosity, creativity and scientific investigation.
We focus on science in the real world and investigating scientific phenomena that students may or may not have encountered in their everyday life. The topics we focus on in first year are:
CSI: chromatography, acids and bases, finger printing, blood types and murder mystery investigation
Food science: osmosis, Hooke’s Law with jellies, making plastic and glue from milk, making ice-cream, making slime
Engineering: building cars, making cleaner robots, geodesic domes, making coin sorters
Biology: dissections, marine biology, horticulture
When: Wednesday after school
Where: The science lab
