Students in grades K-5 learn Science year-round through hands-on investigations using FOSS science kits (new science materials, adoption year 2008-2009). During the WInter trimester at Laurelwood, students in grades 2-5 are busy working through their experiments for the Science Fair. Submissions to Laurelwood's Science Fair involve the process of inquiry and must follow the scientific method. Experiments that are simply 'demonstrations' are not  accepted.

Information on following the scientific method can be found at the following links below.
