East Meadows Science Fair

Submitted by trisha.olsen on

East Meadows held their annual Science Fair, Wednesday, January 28, 2015.  The 5th and 6th grade students have been learning about science and were able to pick a science project and display it for the fair. Many hours go in to preparing a Science Fair project. It is a good way for the students to implement the Scientific Method.  The students choose a topic and form a hypothesis. Then they get to conduct the experiment and find out if their hypothesis was correct or not.  They prepare an oral presentation and build a display board.
