Welcome to the Clarksville/Montgomery County Science Fair

March 29-30, 2001

APSU Armory

Sponsored by the Clarksville Department of Electricity

in conjunction with

Austin Peay State University

Montgomery County Board of Education

You will be viewing approximately 425 individual student projects from the Montgomery County, Clarksville Academy, and the Fort Campbell school systems in grades K-12. The participants were chosen by their individual schools, and in many cases they represent the winners in local school science fairs. Students in grades K-8 compete by grade level; high school (grades 9-12) students compete by project category.

In these projects students have utilized the scientific method to solve or prove a specific research problem. The scientific method includes the observation of a problem or question and organized experimentation to answer the question or solve the problem. Through this process students utilize and develop higher-level thinking skills.
