Science Week in Finn Valley College
Science Week in Finn Valley College 2020
Students this week enjoyed lots of fun and exciting activities within Science and through co-curricular activities across numerous subjects as part of a cross-curricular initiative.
The core theme for Science Week 2020 is ‘Science Week – Choosing our Future’ focusing on how science can improve our lives in the future, and in the present. Students had the opportunities to explore how science can help us to make positive choices that will impact the environment, our health, and our quality of life.
