The annual Surry County Schools Science Fair Showcase was broken into three different levels this year.
The Senior division event was held at North Surry High School on Nov. 19, while the Junior and Elementary division events were held at Meadowview Magnet Middle School on Nov. 23 and Nov. 30. Across all divisions, student scientists were competing to participate at the regional science fair.
American Astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble once stated, “Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure science.” That is exactly what has been happening at all 20 schools and was displayed at North Surry High School and Meadowview Magnet Middle. Students, curious about science, each embarked on their own adventures and showcased their work, celebrating their discoveries with their peers. The following students from each division will be moving forward to the Region 5 Science and Engineering Fair with the date and location to be announced later.

“Watching students work through the scientific method is beyond exciting for everyone involved and gives me the opportunity to recall my own experiences as a student working through hypotheses,” said Superintendent Dr. Travis L. Reeves. “I can remember my own science fair days and how one failed experiment in the fifth grade taught me the lesson of a lifetime: If you cannot fail, you cannot learn. By conducting these experiments, working through trial and error, these students are also learning to embrace the scientific method and learning a lifelong lesson. It is an absolute pleasure to congratulate our students on their advancement to the regional competition and see the great things they have accomplished thus far.”
