The JKHA eighth graders were excited to share their final projects at this year’s science fair. The theme was hydraulics and students researched the science of hydraulics, studying its impact and use in the world. Their work culminated in designing and building a hydraulics machine reinforcing their learning by making strong real life connections. The experience provided opportunities to deepen learning, accept failures and to embrace mistakes as an inevitable step toward learning. The projects also enriched their skills as makers, as team players and as planners.
