Science Expo at The Meadowbrook School
The Meadowbrook School science expo is a non-competitive exhibition of students' science collections, projects, and scientific experiments.
On Saturday, March 9th from 10am to 2pm, The Meadowbrook School hosted its annual Science Expo, a family-friendly event that was open to the public. This year's theme was "Simple Machines" and everyone in attendance was invited to complete a scavenger hunt for prizes, attend science programs, and participate in activities planned around the concept.
Meadowbrook's Science Expo is a non-competitive exhibition of students' science collections, projects, and scientific experiments. All students, from preschool to sixth grade, are encouraged to participate. This year's expo was displayed in the Shuttleworth Gymnasium, and it featured exhibits within the categories of life, earth, and physical science. The projects presented by Meadowbrook's sixth graders employed the Scientific Method, and students demonstrated a thorough understanding of creating a hypothesis, conducting procedures, making observations, and formulating conclusions.
Science teacher, Mrs. Janice Mockaitis, oversees the Science Expo each year with a dedicated commitment to students' learning. Notes Mrs. Mockaitis, "Meadowbrook's science program is designed to help develop students' innate curiosity of their world, acquire scientific knowledge, obtain scientific habits of mind, and encourage a positive attitude towards science."
