Great 2 days spent working with the HSE focusing on facilitation skills for SPHE in the classroom.

Excellent assembly listening to all the work being done in Rumbeck and the pledge students took to aid in delivering new school in Aweil 👏

Great work done with 1st years today showing off their understanding of creating a good hypothesis and testing variables in experiments. Nice and easy set up too 🙌 #jcscience

Great work done with TY Biology students practicing their micropipetting skills thanks to Amgen Biotech Experience Ireland

I have a very enthusiastic 1st year student who entered and has qualified for the BT Young Scientist competition by herself! She is investigating if age/gender have an impact on a persons ability to detect AI generated images as opposed to real ones. Survey here surveymonkey.com/r/356GBR5

2nd years modelling the phases of the moon 🌙 🌑 🌒

Finished Viruses with TYs with a nice festive activity; creating a garland of Viral “snowflakes” to add to my lab ❄️ ❄️ ❄️

Last class with 1st years of the year spent making decorations / presents of names from the elements

Delighted to have had 2 projects in the BT Young Scientist this year. Some great work done by both students BT Young Scientist

When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018. Read more on #WomenInScienceDay: scim.ag/3WWWoSD

Great work being done by our Green School’s committee as we set up collection points for the deposit return scheme. We have joined Re-Turn for Children with all money earned being donated to the following Children’s Charities Re-turn Green-Schools

Great to see more of an emphasis on Biodiversity and Sustainability in the New Leaving Certificate Biology Course. #SustainableDevelopment #sustainability #lcbiology

Working on sustainability with 3rd years and focusing on UN Developmental Goal 11. Students had to create their own sustainable city. I added in extra detail of a budget and assigned roles to each student. Great hands on activity #jcscience #Sustainability #UNSDG

Successful titration done with 2nd years today 🧪

Very informative evening learning all about the Take 1 Programme

Getting around to updating my LinkedIn account. Any other teachers would like to connect please add me linkedin.com/in/eimear-hour…

The Green School’s committee along with the help of some TYs have organised a recycling bin for every classroom in school. Well on our way to our Litter and Waste Green flag 🌍 ♻️

Last class with 1st years before their exams used a “brain dump” relay. Each group moved to a different way station & added any words they could think of. In hindsight assigning different colour pen to each group would’ve been more impactful, but I’m very impressed with results

The scale of this graph, from the Junior Cycle Science exam, is appalling. If a student did this, not beginning at 0 and not evenly spacing the scale (note only four squares between 30 and 35 when others have five) they’d get no marks.
