The Grade 11 IB students brought science to life through an interactive science fair designed for students from Kindergarten up till Grade 5. This hands-on event allowed younger students the opportunity to experience science from a personal perspective and through engaging experiments! This event encouraged these students to discover a deeper curiosity and creativity for science.
The younger students participated with enthusiasm and excitement for this Science fair, accompanied with an enjoyable and fulfilling day for the students! The fair inspired students to think critically, ask questions and connect science to real-life situations.
Some fan favorites amongst students were the guar gum, playdough and elephant toothpaste experiment! The guar gums interesting sensory experience combined with the playdough’s sensory appeal made all the students go crazy. The opportunity to blow your own bubbles and mix colors into playdough created a sensory playground. The surprising burst of color from the elephant toothpaste experiment ultimately tied the whole experience together!
Although this wasn’t just a meaningful day for Kindergarten to Grade 5, but for the Grade 11 students as well. They got to deepen their communication skills, master the art of adaptability and strengthen their teamwork and collaboration skills.
Overall, this science fair demonstrated that learning can be both educational and enjoyable, building a school community where curiosity is fostered and treasured. A big thank you to the students and Grade 11!
