NESA Virtual Science Fair (Grade 5)

On Monday and Tuesday of next week, grade 5 students who chose to participate in the NESA Virtual Science Fair (NVSF) will enter the preliminary round of judging.

Similar to traditional science fairs, grade 5 students have the opportunity to apply and explore scientific concepts through staging experiments, recording observations, comparing results with hypotheses and drawing conclusions. At the same time, students will exercise their creativity, take risks, think critically and discover multiple pathways to possible solutions. Further, what makes this experience unique is that students are paired with experts outside Chennai via Moodle, who act as “e-mentors” by providing feedback to our scientists throughout the process. These exchanges allow our children to extend their scientific support network beyond the AISC community, allowing them to use web-based platforms to collaborate. 

This year, we are proud to present:

Global Warming: Kunal, Yuki, and Vinay

Water Pollution: Prannoy, Aditya, and Varun

Making Soap out of Waste Oil: Dong Yoon, Dae Hyeon, and Do Hun

Oil Spills: Aaron, Vikram, and Mekhi

Hair Dyes: Aoi, Raphael, and Alesandre

Levers and Pulleys: Yu Jin, Shriya, and Khushi

Conducting Electricity through Mixtures and Solutions: Sai and Rohan

Symbiotic Relationships: Abhirami, Jeremy, and Jasmine

Would you like to see the work of our young scientists? Please feel free to visit them in the Hall of Light on Monday, anytime between 2:00 and 4:30.
