Primary School: Science Fair

In 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 team members, in order to show their fellow students a cool and fabulous experiment. They worked through their experiments using 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 do.

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

Though our students’ experiments were simple and child-friendly, they can think as the scientists do, following the scientific methods. We believe that they will be able to work as scientists some day in the future.
