At this year's Greater Vancouver Regional Science Fair Palmer students once again achieved spectacular results! (see all the awards below!) 

For the Grade 8s:

Annabelle and Elaiza received an Junior honourable mention for their project What's in your water? 

Olivia and Joshua won a silver in the Junior division for their project Soilar Powered!

Back in late February Palmer's Debate Team participated in a debate that took place at the Richmond Public Library. The debate raised the question:"Is internet or media censorship a good or bad thing?" Here is the video recording of the debate!

What's happening in Science 8?  As we are wrapping up the Body Systems Unit, students had the opportunity to dissect a sheep pluck.  Not only were valuable lab dissection techniques learned, but these brave Grade 8's had the opportunity to examine hands on how all the body systems are interconnected.  During the dissection, students attempted to inflate the lung of the sheep by exhaling only (...inhaling too would be just gross!). By doing so students were able to compare and contrast between tissue of the lung and that of the liver!
