2008 Science Fair

Weeks of hard work led to the final competition in Pinecrest's 6th Grade Science Fair. Students learned and refined a variety of skills in the process. They started with an idea for an experiment. They researched background information, performed the experiment using the scientific method, keeping statistics, making graphs, analyzing results and drawing a conclusion. Finally, they put all of it together in a clear, informative format.

Judges reviewed the student projects, and finally made their choice of those that best met the prescribed criteria.

Below are photos of this year's winners. These students' projects will be entered in the Ventura County Science Fair that will be held in April. We congratulate these students, as well as all of our students who worked so hard on their projects this year.
