Amelia Academy Students Compete in Science Fair
Nov. 16, 2009 – Through the fall, Amelia Academy students in grades six through nine have been developing hypotheses and testing their predictions. As seventh-grader Tyler M. said, "it [his project] was fun and interesting." The results of his and the other students' work comprise the annual Science Fair competition.
Each student created a presentation, and the judges evaluated the experiments based on originality and the elements of a scientific experiment. Ms. Neillie Midkiff, science teacher and coordinator of the Fair, said "This is an exciting way for students to put science learning into their everyday lives."
