Science fair

Well done Room 7! Your first science fair project completed! So much learning around the scientific process, time management, presentation skills and all sorts of interesting topics. We had our challenges and stressful times but everyone managed to get them ready for the Science fair yesterday. Well done. I have heard so many good comments about the projects from parents and teachers. I am looking forward to seeing your blog posts reflecting on how you found the process, the challenges and successes, as well as what you would do differently next time.
Here were our topics:

  • What wood is the densest?
  • Which flour makes the best cake?
  • Which non-commercial water filter works the best?
  • Do people work better in groups or independently?
  • Does deep water cause bigger waves than shallow water?
  • Does listening ti music improve test results?
  • Which goes off quicker - raw or pasteurized milk?
  • Does age affect the pitch we hear?
  • Can you change the colour of a flower using food colouring in water?
  • Does smell affect taste?
  • Do video games affect heart rate?
  • Do people get better test results on coloured paper?
  • What shape and weight position creates the best wake for wakeboarding?
  • What size battery creates the best electromagnet?

  1. I am really impressed with all of the projects. A lot of hard work has gone into them and your displays were awesome.
    They are interesting topics and very well presented. You should all be very proud as should Mr Marquand. It was worth all the stress!!! Well done all!

  2. I really enjoyed seeing the students' hard work come to fruition, and was proud to be a Te Pahu-ian at the Waikato Science Fair. A huge amount of effort from the kids, and some very interesting projects.
