Seven students from Santa Sabina won 1st prize for their poster in the All Ireland Pitch Tar Drop Experiment. The announcement was made at the Shared Learning Day at Trinity College on Thursday March 27th. The students from the Physics class are Kila Boyce, Lily Buckowski, Cassie Mullen, Katie O’Donovan, Anna O’Higgins, Aisling Treacy and Millie Walsh.
The students recreated an experiment celebrating TCD’s Physics 300 years. It took 69 years for an oil drop to break away. The student promoted the experiment throughout the whole school, naming it Olly the Oil Drop, creating Olly’s instagram account and live stream YouTube channel, running whole school surveys to measure impact as well as performing other viscosity experiments.
