Have you ever wondered what disposable plate is the most durable or what lip balm hydrates your lips the most? How do you determine what is the best soccer ball, golf ball, or sports drink to purchase? For answers to these questions and many more consumer quandaries, look no further than our 6th Grade Experimental Design Fair! This annual 6th grade program had students test more than 23 different consumer products and how they fared in a series of experiments. Students then presented their results in small groups to fellow students, faculty/staff, and families in an official poster session in Hajjar Auditorium, covering all aspects of comprehensive research, including the determination of independent and dependent variables and error analysis. Say goodbye to infomercials, and say hello to evidence-based research from our D-E 6th grade scientists!
