Sophomores Working in Science to Win!
Putnam County sophomore biology students are competing this year in a nationwide science contest co-sponsored by Toshiba and the National Science Teachers’ Association. ExploraVision encourages students to pursue topics that are relevant to their lives and communities, in order to show them the real-world applications of science and technology. It encourages students to foster critical thinking skills, practice their research skills, and most importantly, think outside the box as they work to design a creative solution .
Mr. Watt’s students have been working in teams of two to four, and are developing some great ideas such as how to remove micro plastics from the ocean, how to make large volumes of water potable in a short period of time, and how to reduce the harmful effects of incinerating plastics. Their contest entries will be submitted by February 10, and regional winners will earn a trip to Washington D.C. in June for the national contest.
