We offer a workshop for any primary school from the Republic of Ireland registered as a DPS school entitled тАШCosmic CollisionsтАЩ. The workshop is a mixture of a presentation and practical experiments, which is designed in conjunction with the primary school curriculum.
In 'Cosmic Collisions' students are taken on a tour of the Solar System before exploring the effects and results of comets and asteroids smashing into planets. Students will develop their knowledge of the Solar System as well as widening their understanding of the principles of forces.
