This week fourth graders at McKinley Elementary gathered together to present their annual Science Fair projects. In November, the fourth grade teachers presented this program to students to help them learn more about the scientific method and engage them in hands-on learning. Students in every classroom rose to the challenge and selected a wide variety of topics. These ranged from testing paper towel brands and laundry detergents, to determining the best angles for making a soccer goal, to observing plant growth in various settings, and much more! Students formed hypotheses for their projects, carried out their experiments, collected data, and presented their results on well-crafted trifold poster boards. The Science Fair night brought many families, friends, teachers, and administrators to see all the hard work the fourth graders had accomplished. It was an enjoyable and educational evening for all!
