Science Fair Launch This Week

On Thursday, February 12, Milton Middle School will host our second annual Science Fair. Hands-on scientific investigation and engineering are the foci of our particular fair. Over a five week period, your child will design, test, analyze, and present a project that uses scientific methods to solve a problem. The sky’s the limit!

All students in grades 6-8 will participate in the Science Fair. This event will be on the same evening as a Milton Community Dinner so you can enjoy a great meal before experiencing the impressive work our students will be showcasing.

This week, students begin the process of developing a plan for their project. The first steps involve brainstorming topics of interest, and then narrowing the focus to a specific testable question or problem statement. Students will ultimately use the scientific method, or the engineering design cycle, to answer their question or solve the problem.

Although we will be doing much of the work in class, students will periodically have homework for this project. I will post homework assignments on the House C calendar on the House C blog.

If you have any questions about the Science Fair, don't hesitate to contact me.
