The Thunder Bolt

Grade 5 students held a science fair, to showcase their experiments. The younger students attended and witnessed their experiments in action. 

Prior to the fair, students tested their hypotheses to make sure their experiments worked. Then they made adjustments where necessary.

Grade 5 students shared their experiments and experiences. 

"I think the science fair was very fun. It helps us to learn more about science and learn how chemical reactions work.” Avy

"I think the science fair was a good way for other kids to learn about science and prepare them for fifth grade.” Joshua

"I think the science fair is outstanding. I could show off my science skills and it also helped me become better friends with my partner. It was also very fun to see the elephant toothpaste explode.” Hajime

"It was a lot of work but I think that it was worth it because I worked really hard. It was a lot of fun to see the little kids surprised by what was happening.” Ezra

“The science fair was fun and it was exciting to do it. I got to make lots of cool experiments. I did blue bubbles with dry ice as my experiment.” William 

"While I was testing my chemistry fair project, I noticed that my hypothesis was incorrect. So my team discussed it together, and as a result it was fixed and proved successfully through the experiment." Yesol
