This year WHS held a Science Fair for our junior scientists, Year 7 to Year 9.

For their Science Fair projects, students were to choose from any of the three categories; investigate a scientific idea, develop a technological device, or research an application of science useful in everyday life. 

Students worked in small groups to develop their exhibit plans and perform scientific investigations. The outcome of the investigation and research were presented in the form of written paragraphs, pictures/drawings, result tables, graphs, and models. 

The finished projects were exhibited in the school library for students and staff to acknowledge students’ endeavours they put into completing their projects.
