Medical Partnership Science & Math Expo 2013

All 7th graders at Lincoln Middle were required to create a science inquiry project, while some of them will take it to the expo on Thursday, May 2nd, others just presented in class to their peers! Students were required to think of a question, build and conduct an experiment, hypothesize, and analyze and present their data. We had a variety of projects from factor latices to which potato chip is the greasiest?

Check out all of the great projects!
