Since this is the middle school’s blog with an audience of mostly middle schoolers, you are probably aware that on Thursday March 14th the middle school science fair took place. For those of you unfamiliar with the science fair, students chose a topic to discuss, research backround information on the subject, and then make conclusions based on data they’ve collected. During the time in which I was not presenting (like 7 minutes) I had the pleasure of looking over a few students assignments. Students like…
Lauren Makoff:
Who did her project on whether humans are more closely related to selkies or dragons.

Sofia Garcia-Pena and Megan Koenigsberg:
Who made their project about the efficiency of a cat’s eyes in comparison to a human’s
Lucas Wallace and Orson Gillick-Morris:
Their experiment was on whether fur or blubber serves as a better insulator for mammals.
Congratulations also to the other presenters whom I didn’t get to visit or take a picture of. Hopefully next year’s fair will have just as many great projects!
