Reader Esther Gupta gathered these vivid images of Thoreau Elementary School’s first-ever science fair this month — a celebration of investigation and discovery that she said “was intentionally uncompetitive, providing a stress-free opportunity to learn through hands-on experience.”
Gupta said the two-day extravaganza saw 67 teams present projects “that covered topics from tornados to electromagnetism.”
Each team “followed the scientific method by forming a hypothesis, doing an experiment, collecting data, and drawing a conclusion,” she wrote, and each student received a certificate.
Parents and volunteers helped pull together the event “under the supervision of the Science Fair PTG leader Anusha Anbarasan” and with the support of Thoreau principal Justin Sparks and assistant principal Julie Basler, wrote Gupta, who co-chaired the event with Anbarasan and Rebecca Parkhurst.
