University School Lower School Students Participate in Science Fair

This year’s University School Lower School Science Fair submissions were unique and gave students in grades 4 and 5 a chance to explore the inner workings of light bulbs and the melting properties of chocolate and ice, among other topics.

Students planned and researched their topics, carefully developed hypotheses, and tested their experiments. Congratulations to all our winners and participants.
