When
you go to the grocery store for popcorn, do you
often wonder which is the best? At the Zion Lutheran
Open House and Science Fair last week, Elijah could
have told you the answer to your question. For the
science fair, students performed experiments with a
specific question in mind. They constructed their
question and defined the purpose of their
experiment. Then the students came up with a
hypothesis as to what the answer would be, and
conducted an experiment to prove or disprove the
hypothesis.
