Dear parents and students,

You can find all the important information and documents about LISA Academy School Wide Science Fair by using the following link :

Dear Parents:

Your child will have the chance to solve his or her own science mystery by doing a science project, a mandatory assignment for your child's class.Since your child has the chance to pick his or her own science project question, from the physics of making music to the biology of tide pool animals, he or she will have the chance to experience the joy of discovery.

When starting a science project, a student chooses a question he or she would like to answer. Then, he or she does targeted library and Web research to gain the background information needed to formulate a hypothesis and design an experimental procedure. After writing a report to summarize this background research, the student performs the experiment, draws conclusions and communicates the results to teachers and classmates. Read More…

8th Annual School wide Science Fair will be held on Saturday, January 28nd, 2012.
