4th Annual Science Fair Great Success!

The 4th graders just completed their presentations at the 4th Annual Science Fair for the Lower School. All 4th graders participated by researching a topic, developing a research question, coming up with a testable hypothesis, testing, collecting data, analyzing the results, and forming a conclusion. The topics ranged from Invasive Species, to animal adaptations, to nitrate pollution, to rivers and deltas, to water cycle, to habitats. The students were studying these topics all year long, and it was by random choice that they got the topic they did. Working in small groups since after spring break, they were able to build a poster board that displayed all the information they gathered. They also practiced their presentations with their peers before the Big Day in Mellowes Hall. Check out the video and you will get a feel for the excitement, energy, and enthusiasm that was present. Great job, 4th graders!
