ANNUAL 6TH GRADE EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN FAIR

May 23, 2024 | Recent News, School Life Highlights

The 6th Grade recently presented their annual Experimental Design Fair! Have you ever wondered what disposable plate is most durable or what lip balm hydrates your lips the most? What’s the best sports drink for electrolytes, the best golf ball, or the best chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream? For answers to these and other compelling questions, look no further than our 6th Grade scientists! They tested over 23 different consumer products and how they fared in a series of student-driven experiments. They presented to fellow students, faculty/staff, and families about their independent and dependent variables and their error analysis. Thank you D-E 6th Graders for an insightful morning!
