A record number of young scientists filled Brown School with bubbling experiments and big ideas during the school’s fourth annual STEAM Fair on Jan. 29. More than 250 students in kindergarten through third grade took part.
Teachers in white lab coats roamed the fair as “judges,” asking students questions about their projects and what they discovered.
Classic volcano experiments shared the spotlight with more unusual projects, including “The Germiest Places,” “The Science of Bath Bombs” and “How Much Salt Does It Take to Make an Egg Float?”
There were also several candy-themed projects, including “Hot to Make Rock Candy” and “Which Candy Makes a Better Rainbow.”
