Pioneer Academy Spring Festival and Science Day-2016
Science day of Pioneer Academy is an exciting event that encourages students to think like young scientists. Middle school and high school students design a science project that uses the scientific method to solve a problem. We hope you agree that the educational benefits are numerous, as students develop skills in writing, oral presentation, creative thinking, and problem solving.
SCIENCE FAIR GOALS
As science teachers have many reasons to believe the Science Fair is an invaluable experience for our students. Some of the top reasons or goals that we hope our students achieve are:
1. To stimulate interest, curiosity, and desire to explore the mysteries of the world.
2. To learn, understand, and apply the scientific method.
3. To provide real experiences and methods by which all scientific knowledge has been and is still being gathered.
4. To help develop skills in communicating both verbally and in writing.
5. To help develop skills of interpretation and analysis of data.
6. To learn how to complete long range projects.
7. To acquire skills of research using a variety of resources such as the Internet, interviews, books, magazines, etc.
8. To show a connection between what is learned in the class and what happens in real life.
9. To promote unique opportunities for us (teachers) to work individually with you (the student) in an interdisciplinary project.
10. To foster independence in the student by providing the opportunity for you to take initiative and responsibility in studying a topic for your own learning.
