Science Fair Season

Science Fair Season

Science fair season here at GIS will start soon, and while many students and families are excited, I know how some families dread the idea. Still, I would like to encourage you to give it a try.

In my opinion often the simplest projects are the most fascinating ones. Why not take a look around you and start investigating something you wondered about for a long time? 

When we asked students last year to research common household items and how they were invented we learned fascinating things from how light bulbs work to how a waffle maker inspired the first Nike shoe sole.

A science fair project is one of the best learning experiences a student can undertake. Many of the attributes and characteristics we are focusing on with our transition to IB are essential to the success of a long term project.

Not convinced, yet?

We will have more information in the coming weeks and make sure to save the date for our very own science night on April 9^th where we will exhibit GIS science fair projects and have fun hands-on science experiences for the whole family.
