Science Night is a long going tradition for the science department, starting since 2017. This program features many science-based stations students and families can visit and interact with. Colleges such as Chattahoochee Technical College, Georgia Tech, and Kennesaw State come with many science phenomena like nanotechnology or magnetic money for people to interact with.
“Science Night started to make science more visible in the community and to highlight the science fair,” Dr. Cody Morelock, a chemistry teacher, said.
Most science classes had a table with experiments or information to highlight their class. IB Biology showcased animal cells, and students could look close up with a microscope and record their findings. Students may also earn extra credit for their science classes by completing a scavenger hunt. Ten extra credit points are offered, with students walking around to many tables and completing and documenting their activities and findings.
During Science Night, the science fair is also displayed with awards being presented. Max Brimer (11) won first place, with a project about phone caddies which sanitized phones and prevented theft. To be able to compete in the science fair, students could have signed up via their science teacher and complete a project. First, second, and third place winners can advance to the county fair, and higher, such as state and national levels.
