This week, the 8th grade class proudly showcased their collaborative inquiry science projects to peers, parents, teachers, and local experts. Since September, our students have been immersed in their research, collecting data, analyzing results, and drawing conclusions.
The topics explored ranged from the most comfortable running shoes and the most accurate weather channels to the effectiveness of toothpaste in eliminating bacteria, and many more. Well done, class of 2025!
We’re grateful to the community members who joined us and provided authentic feedback to our budding researchers.
