Showing off our science!

April 24, 2023

Second semester science fairs are a tradition at Butler Catholic School. This year, presentations took place in January and April, with students sharing their investigations and discoveries in two different groups.

Seventh and eighth grade students had the opportunity to share their research with classmates and parents in January. Using the scientific method, they focused on a number of hypotheses they made themselves.

Some projects included effective treatments for acne, comparing the best travel mugs for keeping drinks hot, and looking into different types of hair products. Visitors toured the science presentations after school in the BCS auditorium.

After being rescheduled, fifth and sixth grade presented their exhibits April 13 in the school cafeteria. Their projects covered a range of topics, from analyzing the coffee preferences of men and women to investigating how hockey pucks act on the ice.

Both groups of students did an amazing job of showing their scientific prowess with challenging topics, well-conducted experiments, and knowledgeable presentations. The science fairs were a great opportunity to see the impact the new Nancy Larson Science series—which BCS started implementing last year—is having on the formation of students’ minds.

We’re so proud of the work our students continue to do as they learn how to become scientists in an ever-changing world.
