Last Tuesday was the beginning of Purvis Primary School’s 16th Annual Science Fair. The science fair projects are based on the Cambridge science curriculum, and highlight the students’ scientific knowledge and inquiry skills.

Every student from Primary 1 to Primary 6 presents their experiment to a panel of judges and answers their questions. The science fair challenges the students to solve questions using the scientific method, think like scientists, develop their organizational skills, enhance their writing skills, and oral-presentation skills.

This year 8 students achieved a perfect 100% for their projects. They were: Fasika Simons, Sophia Pereira, Chaya Lambert-James, De’shalae Lowe, Ah’Zira Caines, Cayzie Ford, Eloise Smith, and Maya Orlowski.

Following are the first to third place winners.
