My Project

My students need energy beads, wash bottles, cream, Alka-Seltzer tablets, lotions, Vaseline, lux meter, coil springs, weight sets, snack bags, prisms, corn starch, flour, corn syrup, plastic wrap, wax paper, and mag-lites to conduct and complete various Science experiments to enter into the Science Fair. Students look forward to this event every year.

Science fairs encourage hands-on learning, foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and promote scientific curiosity.

They allow students to explore their interests, engage in the scientific method, and develop confidence in their abilities. Science fairs can boost teamwork and communication skills, and even help students envision themselves as future scientists.
