TY Maths students and Leaving Certificate Geography students participated in a field trip to Kippure on Wednesday, 1st November. It was a beautiful crisp day for the field trip and students explored the environment from both a geographical and mathematical point of view.

TY students participated in a Maths/Geography field trip to Kippure along with 5th and 6th year geography students who were participating in their geography field trip study.  

They enjoyed experiments in a V-shaped valley such as finding the velocity of a river and it's depth, investigating the gradiant of the valley using clinometers and the shape and types of rock in a section of the river.
