Fourth Grade Science Fair at AES!
Our fourth grade students put their research skills on display during this year's Science Fair! Each student selected a specific animal to study and created an informative poster showcasing what they learned. From habitats and adaptations to interesting facts, students became true experts on their chosen animals.
To make the experience even more exciting, some students brought in their animals to share with their classmates—including an axolotl and a leopard gecko!
Kindergarten through third grade students had the opportunity to tour the Science Fair, ask thoughtful questions, and learn from our fourth grade presenters. It was wonderful to see our older Wildcats sharing their knowledge and inspiring curiosity in our younger students.
