As Seen on TV was the theme of Yavneh Academy’s sixth grade science fair. The sixth grade students tested products including ice cream makers, hair straighteners and curlers, titanium pans, pillows and so much more to determine the reality behind the advertising claims. Applying their knowledge of the scientific process, children chose a product, created a hypothesis and tested the validity of the product’s claim. Their findings were shared on a poster board accompanied with on-site presentations and explanations. The project will conclude with letters written to the manufacturers, sharing the strengths and weaknesses of the tested products.

As one parent shared, “The children’s presentations were great. Who knew I would learn which pillows to buy for a better night’s rest, have a delicious dinner of eggs and cookies, have my hair straightened and colored, while learning how to maximize power in my home!”
