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.
