Following the Nano-Science workshop in September, Primary 3 and 4 pupils from Dunoon Primary School produced posters about Nano-Jelly. During the workshop, run by the Really Small Science Group from Strathclyde University, the pupils became ‘Really Small Scientists’ for the day and learned about the world of Nano-Science. They discovered how everyday items such as jelly and even their own bodies are made up of tiny nano-sized molecules.

Joy Leckie, from the Really Small Science group, judged the posters and awarded prizes for the winning poster from each class. All the pupils received certificates of achievement for taking part in the workshop.

Joy said, “It was such a difficult task to judge the posters, they were all fantastic. I was really impressed by the information and colourful pictures on all of the posters. I hope to visit Dunoon Primary again and do some more Nano-Science with the pupils.”

A big thank you to Joy and her team for providing our pupils with such an enjoyable and interesting workshop!
