Another scientific question

Sean's experiment with the balancing fork is baffling us all. How is this possible?



Scientific question

We did this experiment in science and were curious about the results:

In this experiment, we inflated a balloon using vinegar and baking soda. Then we left it to see what would happen. After a few days the balloon deflated and then got sucked into the bottle (see above). We want to know why this happened? (Anselm is calling it "exflation")





Cavan Rail

In geography we were learning about Ireland's rail network. We discovered that there used to be a railway station in Cavan. Can anyone tell us where exactly the railway station was, and where the track went to after Cavan?

Roger Casement's boat?

What was the name of the boat that the Irish Volunteers were using to smuggle arms into Ireland before the 1916 Rising? It was intercepted and scuppered by the Bristish off the coast of County Kerry 3 days before the Rising was due to take place.

This is a photo of divers inspecting the wreck of Roger Casement's boat.

Brian Boru

Does anyone know where in Ireland Brian Boru's childhood home "Beal Boru" was located?

Irish Olympic Medals

The matter of Olympic medals came up in class and the question was asked: How many Olympic Medals has Ireland won?

Time zones

In maths we were learning about time zones and Jack asked "How many different time zones are there in Russia?"
