Henry Lord Community School Science Fair 2026
Showing off what they've learned.
Henry Lord Community School's 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students have been hard at work this semester designing, testing, and analyzing their own science fair projects. Yesterday afternoon, they had the opportunity to showcase their work during the school's Annual Science Fair.
An estimated 70 projects were on display as families, students, and HLCS staff browsed through the cafeteria, asking questions and learning all about the student-designed experiments.
This year's projects explored everything from which type of paper makes the best paper airplane and whether appearance affects food choices, to paper towel absorbency, whether dogs have a dominant paw, if primer is worth the extra step, a project inspired by Stranger Things, and so much more.
Many students told us they were surprised to find that their hypotheses were wrong—but that's what science is all about. The projects gave students the opportunity to think critically, follow the evidence, and discover that some of the most valuable learning happens when the results aren't what you expected.
Great work, scientists!
