Collin County Holds First 5th Grade Science Fair
On Thursday, April 18th the 5th grade held science fair at our gym. During the year, the students studied the lives and great discoveries of over 25 scientists of the Industrial Age. For the fair, they each chose a scientist to focus on. The students then created an experiment or a project to demonstrate their scientist's discovery. Students performed experiments, such as elephant toothpaste to demonstrate the use of a catalyst, filling balloons with various gasses to demonstrate Avogadro's Law, mixing light colors like Maxwell, and using a small Tesla coil with various objects. They demonstrated fermentation by making pickles, sourdough bread, ketchup and root beer. They made maglev train models, faraday cages, motors, circuits, and more. The students presented their projects to other students, parents, and teachers. We hope they carry a love for God's creation and a wonder at the complexities of our world throughout their years at CDA and beyond.
