ti Photo t,, Karen Everett Students recently took part in the Pioneer School District's math and science fair. math and science fair goes off without a hitch By KAREN EVERETT Another successful math and science fair was held recently in the Pioneer School District under the direction of sci- ence teachers Martha Hoss and Steve Val- ley. Students and their families had an opportunity to observe 110 projects pro- duced by 141 participants this year. Students in Suzanne Jackson's third grade class submitted a project on the investigation of sounds. They studied the properties of sound and learned how one can discriminate between different sounds to make a code. They made codes using different objects such as spoons to represent the different sounds. "The displays this year showed dedica- tion and hard work from the young scien- tists," Hoss said. "It is always so amazing to us to see the diversity of interests in our students' work." Projects seen at this year's event in- cluded the areas of life. earth and physi- cal science as well as math. Individual classrooms from kindergarten through eighth grades visited the fair during the school day. In the evening many parents, grandparents and community members enjoyed seeing the hard work of the par- ticipants. The Pioneer Parent Teacher Associa- tion rewarded the scientists by presenting each participant with a large chocolate bar. which provided them with a sweet ending for all of their hard work.
