WHAT IS YOUR SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT?

                WHAT IS YOUR SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT?

Dear Saint John’s School Families,
“Hands on learning” --- Learning by doing”.  Saint John’s Science Fair is just that! What an impressive display to see the work of young minds in one location.  Every single student 5th-8th completed their assignment, that of doing a science fair project.  There was no doubt that students had been taught and understood the process needed for this accomplishment. It is very obvious how much creative thought and work it took to make this such a meaningful experience.  The  uniqueness of each study was exciting and brought smiles to the viewers of the Fair i.e. DRIVEN TO DISTRACTION-------PLEASE DON’T PASS THE SALT-----BRIDGE G-FORCE -------HOW CLEAN ARE PUBLIC POOLS----DOES MUSIC AFFECT THE GROWTH OF SEEDS?-----SLEEP DEPRIVATION----HOW ACCURATE ARE EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS?    I learned how to make homemade casein glue! 
The draft of each project had to be signed by an adult sponsor and placed in a Science Fair Data Book.  The display had to address the Purpose—The Question, the Hypothesis, the Procedure and, of course, the Results, Analysis and Conclusion. The Scientific Method is no stranger to our students.
Mr. Estergard and Mrs. Rottinghaus you are to be applauded for the outstanding job you did of teaching, guiding and challenging our Saint John’s students to think scientifically.  Congratulations students on a job well done!
Shalom,
Mrs. Schmitt
