What an exciting week at Logos Christian Academy! On Tuesday, Feb. 4, the school held its annual science fair.
Students from third through eighth grade submitted a science experiment of their choice and presented their results. Impartial judges spent the day reviewing display boards and information binders to determine the winners.
Students learned about the scientific method, formulated questions, created hypotheses, planned experiments, and presented their findings. This process helps them understand and follow a structured approach to conducting research, making observations, and sharing results, just like real scientists. It is a rewarding project where students can explore a question, find the answer for themselves, and share their knowledge with others.
The world around us is vast and beautifully designed, and these young scientists could participate in science fairs every week and still discover new things. The annual science fair encourages students to explore this intricately designed world, uncover its laws, and marvel at the wonders around them, all of which point to the Creator.
If you ever want to know what melts ice the fastest, how much juice is in a Halo orange, how to make your battery, or anything else related to science, just ask a Logos student—they're knowledgeable!
