Students at the high school presented their remarkable
research-driven science projects and experiments in the school's 12th
annual Science and Engineering Fair.
The exhibit featured students presenting their extensive
research and conclusions under science research teacher Edward Irwin to a
team of judges comprised of district faculty members, college
professors, Village of Freeport officials and science-related
industries. Research projects were presented in the areas of
biochemistry, botany, medicine and health, microbiology, physics, space
science and zoology. The projects were evaluated on a point system based
on students' research displayed, methods used, validity of conclusions
and presentation of results.
The annual science exhibit served not only as a way for the
students to showcase their impressive research skills to experts in the
fields of science and instruction, but also as a sample of the stellar
instruction and support offered at Freeport High School.
"The Science and Engineering Fair is very important for our
students," said Irwin. "Not only are they required to carry on original
research, but presenting their results requires another skill they will
need in the future."
