Science on Tour
Huge thanks and well done to Kellie, Tara, Donncha and Aidan, members of the bright ideas TY class who visited Tullylease National School and completed some fun science experiments with the primary school students! A very fun and enjoyable day for everyone involved 
5th Year Biology
5th Biology end of term project. The brief was to produce a 3D cell structure using recycled household materials. The Science department was very impressed with creativity and problem solving skills. Great work guys !
Science Quiz
First, second and third place winners at the first and second year science quiz held this week and a few other photos of the day

The group project by RuairÃ, Ronan and Liam Power, (absent from picture) also won second place in the Junior Life Sciences Competition.
Transition Year Science students form Hazelwood College, Ava Mullane (left) and Mary Kate Fehin (right) are pictured with their award for ‘Best Project in Behavioural Science’ for their project ‘Accents: The Unspoken About Prejudice’
Hazelwood College students Jamie Hennessy, Sean O’Connor and David Noonan are pictured with their award for Best Project in Waste Prevention and Source Efficiency Competition for their project ‘Poo Power: An Investigation into the Use of Different Manure to Determine which Produces the Highest Energy Content.
Young Scientist’s 2017
Picture a is a picture of Hazelwood College entrants to the BT Young Scientist and Technologist Exhibition with the overall winner Shane Curran.
Picture b: Hazelwood College students Lauren Moran (left) and Tara O’Brien (right) whose entry ‘Migrane- It’s not just a headache’ was an investigation into the prevalence of migraine in adolescents in Ireland. The project also examined people’s awareness of the effects that migraine has on people’s school, social and sporting life.
Picture c Hazelwood College students Mary Kate Fehin (left) and Ava Mullane (right) are pictured at the BT Young Scientist and Technologist Exhibition with their entry ‘Accents- The Unspoken About Prejudice’ which was an entry in the Social and Behavioural Sciences Section. This project aimed to investigate whether people form a prejudicial opinion on somebody based solely on their accent and whether we acquire this prejudice as we grow older.

Picture e: Hazelwood College students (from left) Caitlin O’Connor, Holly Hennessy and Yvonne O’Kelly are pictured at the Young Scientist and Technologist Exhibition recently with their project ‘An Exploration into the Acoustical Conditions Experienced by both Primary and Second Level Students in County Limerick. This project examined the effect being in a classroom had on student hearing.
Picture f: Hazelwood College students (from left) Liam Power, Ruairà Hannigan and Ronan O’Connor are pictured with their project at the Young Scientist and Technologist Exhibition recently. Their project, ‘An Investigation into the Production of Selenium Enriched Dairy Products with Commercial Potential’, was entered in the Biological and Ecological Section and aimed to allow for the production of selenium enriched dairy products benefitting bovine and human health.
Picture g: Hazelwood College Second Year students (from left) Sean O’Connor, David Noonan and Jamie Hennessy with their project ‘An Investigation into the Uses of Various Manures from Different Animals to Determine which has the Greatest Energy Supply to Farms’. The three students aimed to examine which manure produced the greatest amount of energy for farms: chicken. horse or cow manure.
