CRP Science Fair
It was an honor to be a judge at the Crystal River Primary School science fair last week. The students had worked hard on their projects and it was impressive to see the level of creativity and critical thinking they displayed.
The top winners from the Crystal River Primary School science fair will now have the opportunity to compete at the Citrus Regional Science and Engineering Fair. This is a great opportunity for these students to showcase their work on a larger stage and potentially earn even more recognition for their achievements.
As a judge, it was difficult to choose just a few winners out of the many talented students who participated. Each project demonstrated a deep understanding of the scientific principles being studied and the students were able to effectively communicate their findings. I was particularly impressed by the projects that focused on real-world problems and offered potential solutions. I was also impressed how much these projects also overlapped in teaching students about economics and product value.
The Crystal River Primary School science fair was a huge success and I am excited to see how the top winners fare at the Citrus Regional Science and Engineering Fair. I have no doubt that they will continue to impress and inspire with their innovative ideas and dedication to scientific exploration.
I must add a special thanks to CRP instructional coach Jessica Barker who was this year’s science fair coordinator. It takes so much to coordinate this event add each school and we so appreciate our science fair coordinators.
