Our 5th Year Biology students swapped the lab for Lullymore Heritage and Discovery Park in Kildare yesterday! We might have needed an extra layer of fleece, but the dry weather stayed on our side as we traded textbooks for quadrats and probes. 39 students accompanied by Ms. Kavanagh and Mr. Meade. We successfully mapped woodland study areas, crunched the numbers on the local flora and fauna, and got some essential hands-on experience with abiotic factors such as light, temperature, pH and moisture content. Despite all that we even had a time for a round of mini golf. Nothing beats getting out of the classroom for some real-world science!
