For Shulamith, a science fair

The Shulamith Middle Division had its annual science fair last Wednesday.

The students, under the guidance of science teachers Mrs. Miller and Dr. Tucker, displayed their completed experiments to a panel of distinguished guests who volunteered to judge at the fair. The enthusiasm was palpable as the students and judges interacted and learned science together.

The displays were informative and beautiful.

The science fair gives Shulamith students an opportunity to delve deeply into a science topic that interests them.

After the students decide to do a specific experiment, they are encouraged to learn as much as they can about that topic before proceeding, a process that helps them better understand the science concepts in their experiment After this procedure, the students analyze their results.

All of these steps help Shulamith students to understand the concepts behind the scientific process and scientific research.

There were a variety of science topics researched by the students for this year’s fair. Experiments were based on different aspects of sound, microbiology, the psychology behind learning, how effective sunscreens are, how to keep food from spoiling, and more. The information presented was relevant and useful to both the students and the judges.

The students also had the opportunity to listen to their fellow classmates present their experiments to each other in class. All in all, the science fair was a great success and members of the Shulamith community learned so much, from their own work and from each other.
