Science Fair 2016: New Year, New Projects


After months of checkpoint, preparations, trials, and a lot of studying the science fair is finally over! On April 21st/22nd 2016, Escuela Bella Vista had their annual Science Fair. Tons of cool projects were entered and even special speakers were invited to talk to us. How cool is that! Some people were very nervous about this whole thing because they felt like their whole lives depended on it. Well, don’t worry because without a doubt the EBV community is very proud of each and every participant. A former teacher at a University here in Venezuela came and spoke to the eighth, ninth, and tenth graders. She told us all about this cool scientific career that unfortunately most students didn’t hear very clearly since they auditorium was very hot, and the audio was very low. As the speaker went on, they did their best to try to listen to her but sometimes you could barely hear what she was saying. The speaker had prepared some pictures to show us which made it a little easier for us to understand her. In the words of Dr. Rosie “It was a difficult situation, but you were so wonderfully polite and attentive even when it must have been very uncomfortable for you. I was so proud of you. You chose to honor the speaker by being politely attentive even when you couldn't even hear her. You were a terrific audience and I am very proud of how polite you were. Thank you so much for thinking about her rather than thinking about you in those moments. The science fair was very good today. I spoke to about fifteen project teams. Every one of you had good ideas and put your ideas to the test in quite unique ways. Again, I am proud of you for the projects you completed and for the learning you achieved. It´s not quite done yet, know we need to get through another project… SEMANA VENEZOLANA.


Wait until the next issue to read about SEMANA VENEZOLANA! You won’t be disappointed!
