Northbrook Junior High Independent Science Research students who presented their projects at the Illinois Junior Academy of Science State Fair on May 4 gather with their teachers for a photo at Millikin University in Decatur, IL. Independent Science Research students and their teachers from Northbrook Junior High received 18 Gold and 5 Silver awards during the Illinois Junior Academy of Science State Fair on May 4 in Decatur.
According to a news release, NBJH each year participates in the science fair by offering a semester-long course where students can pursue their interests in a research project following the scientific method. Science teachers Lauren Johnson, Fred Yoon, and Amber Paull guide the students through their projects.
The 7th- and 8th-grade students participate in a school science fair where they present their research and findings to a panel of three judges, the release said. The judges evaluate the oral presentation, the written work, and the scientific method of the experiments based on the Illinois Jr. Academy of Science rubric. Students who receive a silver or gold award can advance to a regional science fair and then state.
“This group consistently worked hard. They love science, they asked wonderful, thoughtful questions and they worked together so well. Our ISR students learned so many skills and I have no doubt they will use them as they move on to high school,” Paull said in the releaseExceptional Project in Category : Henry Gartz , Simon Pick
