School Stirs Up Interest in Science
Science fair projects are a rite of passage for many elementary school students here.
Butterfield Elementary School in the Marana school district marked the beginning of the science fair season last week with Science Day.
"This is the kickoff for our science fair. This is to motivate our kids to prepare for the science fair coming up in February," sixth-grade teacher Tim Curtis said at the Jan. 12 event.
Butterfield has hosted some form of a Science Day for at least the last 10 years, Curtis said. "This is a great way to get kids excited about science," he said.
Presenters from the University of Arizona, Raytheon, Honeywell, the Southern Arizona Rocketry Association, Northwest Fire/Rescue District and the International Wildlife Museum shared their expertise with the Butterfield student body.
