WHS Science SymposiumThe Science Research Symposium on May 7, 2013, in the Weston High School cafeteria was the culmination of a semester-long project for WHS sophomore biology students.
During February, over 30 volunteer scientists met individually with over 200 Weston High School sophomore biology students to help the students design quality Independent Research Project experiments. The scientists came with diverse expertise from biotech startup professionals to neurologists at Children’s Hospital. Weston’s PTO Science Council helped recruit scientists and engineers to meet with students individually to answer questions such as which plants should be used to determine whether the color of light impacts growth, or how does the amount of carbon dioxide change in dogs compared to humans during exercise.
Called a “jumpstart,” students had carried out preliminary research in the area of their interest and had an initial experimental proposal to share with the scientists.
One student commented, “The mentor really helped me think about the important questions that need to be answered as well as think of ways to improve the experiment.”
Another found meeting with a scientist useful because “it helped me expand my knowledge, and it will improve my experiment. They brought up ways to have less error in your experiment.”
The volunteers were helpful to the students and enthusiastic about working with them. One parent/scientist commented, “I loved the fact that the three non-honors biology students I talked to had projects nearly as interesting as the two honors students. This speaks to the quality of the teachers at Weston, not to mention the students.”
