Science Fair, 2011.

This morning I attended the annual Science Fair. My son was participating--as was the entire middle school. Science Fair is one of those things that we do at Kadima, and frankly, it works for some kids better than others. Some kids get engaged and some do not.

For those that do, the experience is terrific. They explore a problem, do some experimentation, and then discover their results. I spoke with several young scientists, and I could tell that some really got into it, and really wanted to determine an answer to a scientific problem.

Most importantly, this year, the school really made sure that the Science Fair was a student project, instead of a project designed and built by parents. I think that the school succeeded well. The kids were engaged (mostly) and they were all very proud about their experiments.

Kol HaKovod to Mr. Randolph, our science teacher, Ms. Combs and Mr. Cohen for an excellent day of learning.
