Pudong Grade 5: Science Fair

On the afternoon of April 25th, all the students of Pudong campus finally had their long-anticipated Science Fair. Our students had spent almost a whole month preparing for this event and tried their best in everything alongside their young team members in order to show their fellow students a cool and fabulous experiment. They worked through their experiments with the scientific methods we have learnt in Science classes: find a problem, make a hypothesis, conduct the experiment, analyze the data and form a conclusion.

Without even realizing it, our students experienced the complete process of an experiment and conducted their experiment in exactly the same way as the professional scientists would do.

During the Science Fair, we invited 15 parent volunteers with a background in science and scientists from DOW Chemical to be our judges. After the presentation and Q&A, our kids had gained a better understanding of their experiments and of scientific methods as well. The judges were also impressed by the work of our young students.

Though our students carried out quite simple, child-friendly experiments, they can think as the scientists do as long as they keep following scientific methods. We believe that ig they want to, they will be able to work as scientists some day in the future.
