Parents and friends gathered yesterday [Feb 24] at Purvis Primary School for their 10th annual science fair.
Projects on display covered a wide range of subjects including how moon phases change, how to make a battery, recycling of juice boxes, how crayons work, atoms and molecules making a chemical reaction, and how to build an electric circuit. One young student informed us his favourite molecule is polymers.
Science Coordinator Crystal Lucas talks to some students about their projects below.
Minister of Education Dame Jennifer Smith attended the Science Fair and spoke with Bernews after touring the students displays. She is seen in this video with Purvis Primary Principal Ms. Judith Alexander, whom she congratulated for “creating an excitement about learning.” Dame Jennifer invited the public to attend the science fair, saying “If you think things are not happening in our Public schools, come and be suprised.”
