The Discover Primary Science and Maths programme (DPSM) is
part of the Science Foundation Ireland’s (SFI) Discover Programme. This aims to
increase interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics among
students, teachers and the wider public. The 5 steps of the programme involves
hands-on science investigations from all strands of the Science curriculum, the
use of ICT, investigating engineering, using maths skills, inviting science
speakers to the school, visiting DPSM Centres and creating opportunities for the
children to present their work to others.
For the past three years, we have been successful in achieving
the Discover Primary Science and Maths Award of Excellence. Pupils are actively
involved every step of the way as the on-going log of evidence of science
activities is updated. Well done everyone!
