Science Talent Search

During Term 2, Kew High School’s young scientists have continued to work hard on their various Science Talent Search Projects. The nature of the competition means that students are required to complete the majority of work outside of class, during lunchtimes or on their weekends. Some students have travelled as far as Lake Nagambie to conduct their projects. In order to acknowledge the hard work of these students, an exhibition of their work occurred in the library during week 5. During the exhibition our students had the opportunity to show their work to their peers and teachers and answer a broad range of questions relating to their understanding of the key science concepts within their project. During Term 3 most of these students will have to present their projects to the competition judges, so the exhibition provided an opportunity for them to practice answering questions relating to their project.
