Students participate in Sudbury Regional Science Fair on March 28 and 29

A number of Grade 7 and 8 students from Rainbow Schools will participate in the Sudbury Regional Science Fair being held in the Alumni Hall at Laurentian University on Saturday, March 28 and Sunday, March 29, 2015.
  
The students won the honour of competing at the regional level following the Rainbow District School Board’s annual Elementary Science Fair held at Lockerby Composite School on Friday, February 27, 2015. Sudbury Regional Science Fair projects will be selected for the Canada-Wide Science Fair in Fredericton, New Brunswick from May 14 to 16, 2015.

Rainbow District School Board Director of Education Norm Blaseg commended all science fair participants and extended best wishes to students as they move forward in the competition. “Every year, I am amazed at the depth and the breadth of the research that is carried out in all areas – be it earth sciences, physics or engineering,” said Director Blaseg.

He added: “The projects are a tribute to the ability of our young scientists to let their instinctive curiosity guide them as they observe, question and explore the world around them. We wish all students continued success as they vie for a chance to compete nationally.”

Working on science fair projects gives students an opportunity to capitalize on their natural curiosity to inquire and learn. Students actively engage in authentic learning when they investigate questions that are real. In the process, they enhance their scientific skills and further develop interests in possible careers in the field of science.
