Shrewsbury – Saint Mary School’s Upper School students recently participated in the biennial Science Fair. Over 95 students in grades 5 – 8 began working on their Science Fair research and related experiments in January.

The projects consist of the following: proposal, log book, project report, oral presentation and display poster. Students were encouraged to select an experiment and subject matter that interests them.

On the day of the event, over 30 judges, including physicians, engineers, educators and local business professionals checked in to review the presentations. Each student’s experiment was judged by three different judges. Students were required to present a three- to five-minute presentation to the each of the three judges.
