The children from the “Thrushes” class of Pipers’ Hill Community National School were presented with a merit award at the Primary Science Fair in the BT Young Scientist exhibition. The children submitted a proposal in September 2011 and were invited by BT to present their “CSI Pipers Hill” project. Their investigation related to a forensic analysis of a crime scene and their production of a ‘Book of Evidence’. Judges were very impressed and commended highly Andreij Filip, Wyona Russell, Fola Sonekan and Lucy Tuohy for their efforts.
The group were thrilled to have been accepted into the Primary Science Fair upon their first application and are already planning next years submission!
