Bill Nye himself would’ve been proud of yesterday’s science fair at Juniper School.

There were many great projects at this year’s science fair, but only a select few were chosen to move on to the Northern Regional Fair in The Pas.

Juniper’s Behavior Support Teacher Pat Pegus spoke about the importance of science fairs and what it does for the kids who participate.

“They learn the different points in how to solve a science question, like doctors would do or scientists would do. They have to have an idea of what they want to find out, and then they have to make a hypothesis. From there, they try to prove whether their project will work or not. And it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work; it’s the whole process that matters.”

Sixteen students with ten different projects across grades 4-8 will be representing Juniper School at the Regional Fair.
