Small But Mighty!

Our little school did tremendously well this past weekend at the City Wide Youth Science Fair held at the Big Four Building, Stampede Park.

Participating elementary schools are allowed to submit 1 project for every 15 students enrolled in grades 5 and 6. HMS was allowed to send three projects.

Representing HMS were:

Jake T. (grade 5) with his project entitled: "In Search of Vitamin C"

Samantha N and Nicole N (grade 5) with their project entitled "Freezing Point Depression"

and

Rita D. (grade 6) with her project entitled "I've Been Growin' - Where Have You Been?"

Our students were entered in different categories depending on their topic.

Jake won a silver medal, placing second in his consumer goods/physical sciences category.

Samantha and Nicole won gold medals, placing first in their physical sciences/earth sciences category.

And Rita won a gold medal, placing first in her life science/biology category.

We can be extremely proud of the efforts of all our Science Fair Club participants and particularly proud of the successes these students experienced at this level of competition.
