Mrs Irwin's Art class has been practicing their watercolor skills over the last few weeks. Look at their beautiful finished paintings. Students were challenged to practice all of their knowledge of colour, including complimentary colours, adding light and shade. They were also encouraged to practice their watercolor techniques such as blending, colour wash and wet on dry. Mrs Irwin was so proud of all of 8I for being so ambitious. It is lovely to see such bright colours as we enter the darker evenings.

Photos from Strabane Academy's post Year 14 Physics: Estimating Absolute Zero!
Our Year 14 Physics class recently put theory into practice by investigating Charles’ Law and estimating the temperature of absolute zero.
Working in pairs, pupils used a length of trapped air in a capillary tube to investigate the relationship between temperature and volume. By taking measurements at different temperatures and analysing their results, they were able to estimate absolute zero at approximately −273°C.
The investigation also linked their classroom learning to the history of science. Lord Kelvin (William Thomson), born in Belfast in 1824, developed the absolute temperature scale in 1848, with absolute zero defined as 0 K (−273.15°C).
This was a great example of practical physics in action, combining experimental skills and data analysis with an exploration of one of the most fundamental concepts in physics.
Well done to all 10 pupils for their teamwork, curiosity and scientific thinking!
