Every year, Stone Hill Learning Center hosts their annual Science Fair. This highly anticipated event (one of my personal favorites!) is open to middle and high school aged students.
Work began all the way back in January, as Mrs. Gilleland (Middle School Science) and I taught our students about the scientific method. Work continued throughout the semester, experiments were conducted, and some surprising conclusions were drawn! After class presentations and friends and family exhibition fair last week, we are excited to announce your Stone Hill Learning Center 2018-2019 Science Fair winners!

1st Place: Madeleine G. for her project, "What type of bird seed and feeder do birds prefer?"
2nd Place: Dinos A. for his project "Happy Tails"
3rd Place: Evie K. for her project, "Does vinegar kill bacteria?" and Timothy M. for his project, "Truth or Lie?"
HIGH SCHOOL DIVISION

Talk to you soon,
Mrs. Torquato
