Science+Fair

The theme for year’s middle school science fair is inspired by the many people that have made great contributions to scientific discovery. The middle school students at YISS will be creating a LIVING WAX MUSEUM, where they themselves will represent the great minds of science. Each student will be assigned/select a scientist or inventor that has had a significant impact on scientific discovery, invention, and exploration. They will then create an exhibition featuring their particular scientist.
