Year 5 Science Fair Impresses Judges
Year 5 students have been busy planning, hypothesising and conducting science experiments they designed to help the community using science and technology. From looking at ways to prevent flooding, to addressing various COVID issues, to using the sun to cook food, the students all took a unique approach to their projects. Over the past few weeks, they finished and displayed their findings ready for the Year 5 Science Fair on Wednesday. The breezeway precinct came alive for the Fair as the budding scientists eagerly shared their interesting research with the College community. Special guests included Pre Prep students, two canine friends and a number of teachers. Three of King's senior science staff - Miss Baldwin, Mr Flood and Mr Holman - were invited to attend the Science Fair as guest judges. They were impressed with the effort students had put into their work and were very pleased to see their scientific inquiry skills developing. The highly qualified judging team awarded a number of commendations and chose the top three projects.
