Last November the Science department proudly launched
its first ever Science Fair and since then interested and enthusiastic students
have been getting together to decide on their projects and start on the path of
research.
Twenty two groups across the four age categories have
embarked on their projects hoping to be the first winners of this competition.
Over half of these groups have come from primary showing the great enthusiasm
they have for Science.
Projects range from microbial analysis of the school
to looking at the energy consumption within the school, with lots of other
fascinating ideas in between.
If you are interested in participating then you need
to decide on a project and get started as soon as you can. The closing date for
entries will be Monday 31st
of March where students will need to submit a short video showing what
research they did, the results they found and the conclusions they can make.
There will be a first round of judging and successful
candidates will be asked to give a poster presentation for Family day (May 19th
in the labs) where the final winners in each category will be decided.
Though the prizes haven’t as yet been decided on they
promise to be something special and worth competing for.
Through this Science fair, we, (as a Science
department), hope to fire up the imaginations of our students and teach them
the skills needed for proper scientific research. This will aid them with their
future treball de recercas/extended essays in Bachillerato/IB and further on in
University.
Nine weeks left! Good luck to all!
