The P7 children entered the Orkney Sun2 competition which was part of the Science Festival. They had to compare the effectiveness of single and double-sided solar panels by collecting data and analysing it. They worked out that the E-W panels are better early and late, and the South facing panel is better at or around noon. The judges praised their ‘thorough investigation of the effect of the white reflector’ and awarded them second prize.

We took part in several workshops during the 2023 OISF. We did workshops on marine superstars, stars on a plate, fossils, the Sun, Circular Economy and Dementia.

Thanks to everyone who came in, we had a great time!
