The young scientists have been burning the midnight oil to prepare for the annual KS3 science fair. The science projects students worked on stemmed from their independent research of a science topic. They used the scientific method when developing their ideas both independently and with support when necessary. The young scientists described the purpose of their science fair project to their classmates during the event. Their main purpose was to get the audience excited about science by doing it in practice rather than simply learning about it in theory. The fair offered the participants educational opportunities and let students tackle the scientific method hands-on. The students used this platform to present their science projects to fellow students, parents and Braeburn staff.
