Since the beginning of January, Grade 8 students have been hard at work on our science fair projects. We spent hours researching, experimenting, writing out information, making backboards, and having a little fun here and there. When everything was finished, we presented our projects to judges, the class, families, and, of course, Mr. Zimmerman.
Five Grade 8 students were chosen to attend Manitoba Schools Science Symposium, April 26–28, 2019. Opening ceremonies were held the morning of the 26th, followed by a day of fun science-related activities like making a bridge out of raw pasta, creating DNA, and designing landers. The next day was spent presenting our projects to judges, with a public viewing on the final day, which concluded with the awards ceremony. All in all, we had lots of fun going to the symposium and exploring University of Manitoba; it was an experience we will forever remember!
Editor's note: Bronze medals were presented to Katia Djomo Wongep and Hope Hinchey. Silver medals were presented to Ryann Hafenbrak, Isra Elbarouni, and Inez Mayberry. Congratulations to all!
