Sixth graders unveiled the results of weeks of scientific research, experimentation, and data analysis for the Sixth Grade Experimental Design Fair, which took place on May 28 in Hajjar Auditorium. “Through hands-on experiments, students have learned to ask meaningful questions, make predictions, and test hypotheses—developing resilience and a passion for discovery along the way,” said Ms. Kara Makohon-Moore, Sixth Grade Science Teacher. Among the topics that our curious students worked on were sound wave patterns, digital vs. traditional learning, chocolate melting points, how the amount of baking soda in a cookie affects its height, whether video games can improve reaction times, and how different tread patterns on basketball shoes impact athletic performance. Hats off to all our young scientists!
