The SFX Middle School Science Fair takes place annually. Students spend several months planning, preparing, and executing a science experiment and present findings through a Keynote presentation to judges. The event culminates in the display of all projects and a brief awards ceremony.
In addition to the acquisition of core science skills, students also grow in their ability to organize information, to write with fluency and clarity, and to present content orally with confidence. Each year, select entries are recommended for participation on the regional level. From there, students may also be selected to advance to competition at the State Science Fair.
This year’s 7th and 8th grade presentations to judges happen on Wednesday, January 22nd from 3:10-5pm. Students may be dismissed following their respective presentations. A fair open to family and friends takes place on Thursday, January 23rd from 2:30pm through 3:10pm dismissal. Parents should enter through the school’s main doors and proceed to the Gym. Questions about Science Fair may be addressed to patrickvan@sfx-school.org.
