Park Street School Science Fair 2014
On March
6, 2014, Park Street School students will exhibit their research and findings on display boards, through experiments, and in interactive discussion. Two general exhibits are planned at 8:30-9:30
a.m. and again at 2:30-3:00 p.m.
with displays in several classrooms, the Science Lab and the gym. From 9:30-9:45 a.m., Grade 4 students will present live advertising "commercials,” written, designed and produced based on product testing they have
done on consumer household items.
Grade 5 and 6 students have
produced individual science experiments and research papers and will be
assessed by external judges from two Boston-based middle and high schools, prior to Thursday. The judges’ scores will be tallied to produce five
winners: Grand Prize, First Place, Second Place, Third Place,
and Honorable Mention. The topics
being researched and investigated include such questions as, “What are the
effects of ultraviolet light on repair deficient yeast DNA?” “How do the
properties of gluten and gluten-free baked goods compare?” and “What are the
healing effects of therapeutic magnets on the body?” At 1:30 p.m. the names of the winners will be announced and all parents and
attendees are welcome to hear the winning presentations on stage from the five
winners.
