Middle School Science Fair is Approaching!

The Middle School Science Fair marches its way into the curriculum in Spring, with the final results presented in the gymnasium on Friday, March 20, 2009. Students are currently working very hard on display boards and oral presentations both in and out of school. Careful planning for data collection has occurred beforehand, as partners spent their weekends carrying out their experimental designs. Topics range from work on fire ecology and bio-diesel fuels to behavioral work on human subjects and plant species. It is now time to unveil the results. Research reports were submitted on Friday, March 6. Display boards and all materials for Level 6 will be brought to school on Thursday, March 19. Display boards and all materials for Level 8 will be brought to school March 20. Level 7 students are making special appointments to present their work to the judges, since the International Collaboration Project trip to Australia prevents some participants from demonstrating their conclusions on March 20. The Science Fair will be open to parents from 8:30 a.m.-9:00 a.m. on March 20. Primary and Elementary students will view the fair from 9:00-12:00 a.m., with Elementary students then hosting their own fair on April 17. See you there!
