We had such a wonderful time seeing everyone at our Lincoln-Eliot Science Fair this week!  Lincoln-Eliot students from every grade did a fantastic job sharing slides, posters, videos, and live presentations.  We were so happy to see so many teachers show up to celebrate the kids, too!  You can still visit our Science Fair Padlet Page and see all the amazing work everyone did by clicking here:

Lincoln-Eliot Science Fair!

Students made lemon batteries, volcanoes, small motors, robot hands, slime, eclipse models, and rockets; taught us about scientists like Ynes Mexia and France A. Cordova; demonstrated how to build a compass, swing a pendulum, make a rainbow, or create a floating stick man; measured how much sugar is in our snacks, what numbers come up the most in dice rolls, and how high people can hear as they age; and prepared presentations on Minecraft biomes, Skittles, mold, and four-stroke engines — and so much more!  We loved the projects and conversations about bird beak differences, surface tension, and acid rain that went along with the experiment kits generously provided by Merck.

Pilot Josh Haddad also gave us a super-fun “Build a Paper Airplane” Zoom activity on Wednesday, and our “Ask a Scientist” parents and guardians told us about new science discoveries in recent years and answered everybody’s burning questions.

If you missed the “Build a Paper Airplane” activity, you can find the instructions in this video:
