Exploring Fish, Chicks, and Wind Turbines at Meadow’s Science Fair

Seventeen Meadow Montessori School students recently participated in the school’s 2024 Science Fair and earned ribbons for their projects. The school is proud to continue this tradition, as it is the only school in the county that still hosts a school-wide science fair. The event has been held annually since 1986 and involves students from kindergarten through eighth grade.

Each student presents their project to the class before displaying it for the entire school. Judges then review each project and award prizes to the top three in five different age groupings. The judges for this year’s science fair were Sarah Howard, Cale Piedmonte-Lang, Stephanie Slat, and Frank Tryrbon.

Meg Fedorowicz, the Science Fair coordinator, emphasized the importance of the event as a celebration of learning. She highlighted the scientific method as a valuable tool for critical thinking, which is a key aspect of the education provided at Meadow Montessori.

Students from various grade levels received ribbons for their impressive projects. From kindergarteners studying the life cycle of a fish to seventh and eighth graders comparing foundation and skin tone, the diversity of topics and the effort put into each project was evident in the results. The success of the Science Fair showcases the dedication of both students and teachers at Meadow Montessori School.
