DHS Science Fair the Biggest Yet!
February 19, 2019 DHS hosts 6 judges and 61 projects
Thank you to the PTA, Judges and Teachers for your work with our students!
Delran High School would like to thank the Secondary School Parent Teacher Association of Delran for their generous donations for the winning student projects. Congratulations to all the students, as this was one of the most difficult fairs to score. The projects were exemplary demonstrations of applied science.
DHS Media Center Packed Over 61 projects were entered in this year's fair. Participants displayed research based projects on topics from horticulture, biochemistry, behavioral science to the engineer design process and thermodynamic properties. | Engineer Design Process Exemplified this Year Thanks to the addition of the Physical Science course this year, Mrs. Siobhan McVay and Mrs. Saba Kennedy-Flomo were able to use this fair as an opportunity for students to present their process thinking. The Laws of Thermodynamics were explored through the design of solar cookers, coolers, animal shelters and heat packs, to name a few. | Congratulations 1st Place Winner- Hannah GravanteHer project entitled "How Does Water Drainage Affect Broccoli Growth?" is Hannah's fourth and final submission to our Delran High School Science Fair. Hannah will pursue her love of science at Georgian Court this fall. Good luck, Hannah! |
