Perkins Science Fair
We love to see our students challenge themselves and get excited about science. On May 29th and 30th, students will participate in the Second Annual Perkins Science Fair!
Students at Perkins School for the Blind will have the opportunity to meet Issac Newton, Ben Franklin, Amadeo Avogadro and eight other scientists. The topic for this year’s science fair is “Meet the Scientists”. Students in the Introductory Physics and Chemistry classes have been researching the lives of famous scientists from history and scientists currently working in the field. Two of the scientists whose lives and contributions are being presented are working chemists who are blind.
The eleven students participating in the fair are learning about what the world was like during the time their scientists were alive, in addition to the biographical information about their particular scientists’ lives and achievements. During the fair, students will present oral reports, display posters, and have hands-on activity and tactile models that represent the contributions of their scientists.
