The researchers will give a Science Fair preview on Wednesday, March 30. The 7th grade participants will set up posters in F107 and present to Ms. Kurrle's 2nd period science class. The 8th grade researchers will set up posters in F102 (the LEGO League room, in the 7th grade science wing) and present their research to staff and 8th grade students during Activity Period. If you are an 8th grade student and would like to come to the preview, obtain a pass from your Activity Period teacher.
