Students worked hard on their experiments for a successful 2017 SPA STEAM Fair. Students showed excellent comprehension and application of the scientific method. I was so proud of their self-directed approach. They began by asking questions and choosing a problem to investigate. Then they went on to form hypotheses, map out procedures, gather materials, implement their experiments, make observations, and write up and analyze their conclusions. Next, students designed a display and set it up for the fair, where they had a chance to present their findings to the rest of the school and community. They took a lot of pride in their work, and are already talking about ideas for next year!
