A success for budding scientists!
Twenty students from three of our Council's schools - École Franco-Terrace, École Enfant-Jésus and École Étoile du Nord - and three teachers signed up to take part in and run a wonderful virtual science fair, which took place on Tuesday, June 23.
The wide range of scientific projects enabled us to make advances and take the first steps towards a future scientific career. The winning projects were :
- Making light
- Plastic recycling
- Lung capacity
- Building and operating an engine
- The frog life cycle
- Building a solar oven
- Building an electric current
- Cooking a recipe
- Growing tomatoes
- Pulley construction
Students had to meet certain criteria, and the jury - made up of La Vérendrye high school teacher Éric Gauthier, school counsellor Donald Pelletier and educational consultant Nancy Fournier-Leclerc - had to debate their arguments to select the winners. Rest assured that all the projects piqued the public's curiosity, even virtually.
Thanks to Mrs Marie-Jacquard Handy for her welcome, and to the judges and teachers for their dedication to our students' success.
Hats off to all the participants!
