Science Fair
|
All Jr. High science students - grades 7 - 9 - take part in the St. Mary's science Fair. They choose a project that they were interested in, create a Hypothesis, determine their 3 variables, test, analyze, come up with strong conclusion and then take the project to the next level. The winners will represent are school at the Regional Science Fair in Peace River. Below are some of the presentations presented at the St. Mary's Science Fair. The last two years we have had a student from St. Mary's represent our school and region at the Canadian National Science Fair - Halifax in 2015 and Montreal in 2016! WOW!!!!!
