The 2018 Shorecrest Preparatory School Science Fair was a huge success. Judges from among our science teachers as well as scientists from the local community evaluated projects, ranging from topics such as bacterial growth and removal, trash clean up, soggy cereals and effective shampoos. Each project also included a QR code leading to a short video explaining the project.
Sixth graders shared their work with other classes, friends, and families who came to visit and view projects on display in the Student Activity Center last week. Below are the results of the competition.
