Primary Science Exhibition

On Saturday 23rd November, three pupils from Year 5 – Ava, Joshua and Max – represented Brentwood Prep in a Science Exhibition hosted by the senior school. Many schools from the local area attended, bringing with them a vast array of exciting and interesting projects. The children were set the task of completing an inquiry which would contribute to one of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Ava completed an inquiry about the effectiveness of different methods of water filtration; Joshua’s inquiry investigated the rate at which sea ice and land ice melts and the effect this has on rising sea levels; and Max investigated the effects various pollutants have on the acidity of water. All three pupils presented their findings and discussed their work in a sophisticated and engaging manner, demonstrating an impressive amount of scientific knowledge. A huge congratulations to Ava, Joshua and Max for being outstanding representatives for our school and an additional congratulations to Max, who won the prize for ‘Scientific Process’ –  one of only five awards chosen from forty-three projects in total – a huge achievement!
