Parents, students and guests alike, were all impressed by the exciting experiments, demonstrations and exhibits that were displayed by students at the Montessori Academy?s annual science fair.
The science fair included students from pre-kindergarten through grade 5 and it was unique for pre-kindergarten students to be involved. Each student had the opportunity to present their working experiments explaining their hypothesis, the experimental apparatus used and their conclusions. The presentations included artwork, photographs and hands-on demonstrations that pleased the crowd.
Among the students exhibits were different types of volcanoes, a tornado and a lava lamp. As well as a bottle rocket using a carrot, a soda bottle and water which was launched 50ft in the air. There were many innovative displays about the topics the students had studied including how to make a teabag fly, to the properties and uses of magnets in modern day transport.
Denise Morgan, Principal of Montessori Academy Nevis said, ?The objective of the science fair was to give our students an opportunity to carry out in-depth study from the science and physical geography curriculum?s and apply the skills they have learned. It was also a chance to show the students and the school community how important and useful science is and how it relates to the world around us.?
