Congratulations to our 6th grade Science Fair winners!
- 1st Place: Grayson Cecil & Ethan Miller - How Hot How Long
- 2nd Place: Charlotte Gavazzi & Allegra Tvaroch - Crime Scene
- 3rd Place: Elsa Beers & Devi Dhawan - Safe or Smashed
Every year, 6th grade Science Teacher Mr. Paul Cornelius organizes the fair. Students are tasked with working together to research various topics and ideas and then select one for the fair. Students conduct experiments, document results, and then present their findings to teachers, guests, and their fellow peers at the science fair. The winners are chosen based on their incorporation of the scientific method like keeping all other variables the same and testing multiple times, visible effort, and having a creative and original topic.
“It is a great opportunity to give the students hands-on learning,” Cornelius explains. “They are solving everyday problems by conducting their experiment, and really get to understand how the scientific process works. Even though it is a long project, students are proud of their work and enjoy presenting their findings.”
Here is what our winning students had to say about their top honors!
- Grayson and Ethan: "We were both really, really happy when we found out we won. We felt like it was a really good project because it helped us understand the different kinds of woods and how they burned."
- Charlotte and Allegra: "We were excited and jumped up and down when we found out when we won second place. We thought we had an original project so we are happy to place overall."
- Elsa and Devi: "We were very happy when we found out we placed 3rd overall because we worked really hard so it was nice to see that hard work pay off. It was really fun working on that project."
Congratulations to our 2024 overall winners and all students!
