Science
Project
The
2012 St. Finn Barr Middle School Science Fair is coming up soon.
Sixth and seventh grade students will be use the many methods
of scientists to investigate a scientific problem of interest
to them. Students will design an experiment to test their ideas
and create an exhibit that will showcase their methods, results,
and conclusions. The benefits of participating in this fair are
numerous as this process will help our students develop skills
in critical thinking, writing, oral presentation, experimentation,
creative thinking and problem solving. The projects will be on
exhibit during Catholic Schools week. Selected seventh grade exemplary
exhibits will have the exciting opportunity to enter the San Francisco
Science Fair hosted by The Randall Museum. For
