5th Grade Students Share Their Scientific Discoveries at Science Fair

On Tuesday, May 6, Atlantic Christian School’s 5th grade students showcased their hard work and creativity during a Science Fair held in the cafeteria. The event was the culmination of several weeks of research, experimentation, and preparation as students worked on their individual science projects.

Each student proudly stood by their display board, ready to explain their hypothesis, process, and conclusion. The fair was set up in rotating sessions, giving students from all three 5th grade classes time to present their projects and interact with classmates and visiting adults.

Guests, including teachers, parents, and staff members, had the opportunity to ask questions and encourage the young scientists. It was a wonderful time of learning and sharing, and the students were excited to explain what they had discovered.

The Science Fair not only gave students a chance to deepen their understanding of the scientific process, but also helped them grow in public speaking and presentation skills. We are proud of all their effort and enthusiasm!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to support our students and celebrate their hard work!

Come to the Middle School Science Fair – Friday, March 6

Is the five-second rule true? What is the effect of microwaves on plant growth? What are the different densities of water? The answers to these and other STEM-focused questions will be explored in middle school science projects at the ACS Science Fair on Friday, March 6 in the gym from 4:00-6:00 p.m. ACS families are invited to attend and tour the 50 science projects that will be on display.

The students began developing their science fair projects in November, which is part of their science grade. The 6th and 7th graders have been working in pairs and 8th graders have created their individual projects.

Middle School science teacher Celine Melody said a panel of judges will examine each of the projects during the Science Fair and select the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners from each class.
