Science Fair News
Each fall semester students in fifth through eighth grades conduct a science experiment following the scientific method. After students research their chosen topics, they form hypotheses and purposes as well as creating procedures to test their hypotheses. The information the students discover during the course of their investigations are then charted and graphed before students reach final conclusions. These projects are then entered into the Anderson Christian School Science Fair. Students who earn first, second, or third place are then eligible to participate in the East Central Indiana Regional Competition at Ball State University.
March 1, 2008, Anderson Christian School was represented at the regional competition by Carly Wilson, fifth grade; Joshua Vallance, sixth grade; and Tommy Snell, seventh grade. Evan Dulaney, a sixth grade student who had been registered to attend, was unable to participate due to illness. After presenting their exhibits to the various judges, Joshua earned third place with his project, “Which Will Make a Plant Grow Faster, Water or Gatorade?” and Carly earned second place with her project, “Warm Up to Sing.”
Congratulations to all students who successfully completed a Science Fair project this year with special congratulations going to Josh and Carly!
