Social Studies

The GeoBus visited Cardinal Newman High School today.  This is an educational outreach project developed and run by the Department of Earth & Environmental Sciencesgeobusteam at the University of St Andrews. 

The Geobus aims to support Earth Science teaching, inspire young learners and highlight career opportunities in Geology, Earth Sciences and STEM areas generally.

Our youngsters enjoyed learning about a variety of topics including earthquakes and volcanoes, they attempted to build structures which could withstand the power of a devastating earthquake.  Thank you to Mrs Daly for organising this.IMG_5524 IMG_5525 IMG_5527 IMG_5528 IMG_5530
