Each year Andrew Jackson Middle School establishes a Science Research Club enabling students to explore and share scientific studies of interest.
Every member selects a topic of interest and develops a science fair project.
All participants begin this assignment in September by narrowing their topics and forming a hypothesis and then designing an experiment to test hypothesis. Many trials are performed and data is carefully recorded on each trial until such time as students feel they have collected enough data to determine a conclusion. This whole process is completed by January when students must begin to develop individual presentations of their findings. Once completed, these projects are presented at the Mainland Science Fair. With the help of their sponsors Ms. Clifford and Ms. Owens and all the parent volunteers, these students always present outstanding work.
