Three experiments conducted by our Junior Falcons received top honors at last week’s U-Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ event – we are very proud to have represented the City School District of Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ’s middle schools so well on the collegiate stage!
Congratulations to:
- Grade 6 first place – Jacob Barrera and Carl Frey – How does the weight of a paper airplane affect the distance it travels?
- Grade 6 second place – Luke Carleo, D’artagnan Kline and Simon Robin – How does climate change hurt sea life?
- Grade 7 second place – Eleanor Knoderbane and Quinn Moore – Hot vs. Cold Magnets
The semester may be over at the University at Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ but the campus is still buzzing with student learning – it just may not be the students you expect.
Junior Falcon scientists from Stephen and Harriet Myers MiddleSchool joined peers at North Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ Middle School and William S. Hackett Middle School to professors and graduate students at UÓ£ÌÒÊÓƵ’s Emerging Technology and Entrepreneurship (ETEC) Complex on Thursday.
After the science fair, the sixth and seventh-graders explored ETEC – which houses researchers, educators and entrepreneurs – and the tour was followed by a discussion with a UÓ£ÌÒÊÓƵ atmospheric science researcher and the awards ceremony.
Most will likely recognize one of the science fair judges – and hopefully recruited some future Great Danes!
