Silver Stream P.S. is excited to announce
our Annual Science Fair for Grade 7
& 8 students on Thursday, February,
18, 2016 taking place in our gym.
The fair will be open to family and friends
from 8am Thursday morning until 5pm.
Why is a Science Fair so important?
Providing a meaningful and engaging
intermediate science and technology program is a challenging task.
Project-based science and technology is the natural culmination of a program
that involves students in developing inquiry and design skills. These skills
help students to connect science and technology to each other and the outside
world. Students selected from one of three different inquiries; 1) Research
based 2) Innovation or
3) Experimental; for their projects.
What Happens to Our School Fair Project
Winners?
Through authentic investigations, students
constructed an understanding of how science works, and developed critical
thinking skills that will serve them well in their future endeavours. Award
winners from our school-based fair will be competing in the Regional Science
Fair taking place in April. This science
fair includes all schools in the York Region area competing to receive an award
and continue on to the Canada Wide Science Fair.
