Stronsay School Pupils' Artwork display at the Pier Arts Centre

We received this message from Carol Dunbar, Learning & Engagement Programme Manager at the Pier Arts Centre in Stromness:

(...) we are currently putting up a display of the work that the Stronsay pupils did during the two workshops at the end of last term. The work will be on display from Saturday 21 September until Friday 18 Oct – which hopefully gives enough time for folks to come to Stromness and see their work. There will be a bit of social media on our Facebook page (...)

Cloud chamber & Alpha particles

We had Dr Alexander McKinnon in school today talking about types of radiation from space. He had a really informative presentation about radiation and particle research and he even brought over his cloud chamber to demonstrate the alpha particles produced from a welding rod. We could see the cloud tracks made in the chamber as each particle passed through it. We also managed to see a few background beta particles as well.
