Science Fair
March 26, 2011
6th – 12th grades
Coordinator: Cary Hill
The CCEA Science Fair has both a spiritual and educational purpose. The first purpose is to teach our students to worship God through the investigative avenue of science learning and discovery. The second purpose is to help our students become proficient in the use of scientific methodology, as a way for them to better fulfill the creation mandate.
In a fair setting, this purpose will be accomplished in several ways. First, the very task of preparing and competing in their local school fair, to qualify for the CCEA fair, has taught them the worth of performing to the best of their ability.
While at the CCEA science fair students will be exposed to others who share the same interest in science, be given a larger forum to compete, as well as come in contact with ideas and learning from a greater pool of science talent.
Because the focus of the CCEA Science Fair is to give glory to God for His magnificent creation, we encourage all students, as well as adult chaperones to take advantage of this opportunity to gain a better appreciation for Gods’ presence as seen through the glory of His creation.
Each student project will be evaluated and receive their scoring sheet, as well as the ribbon commensurate with their project score. Scoring sheets and ribbons are for encouragement and evaluation, allowing each participant the opportunity to learn and become aware of both strengths and weaknesses in their approach to solving scientific problems.
