RRPS Jr. Research EXPO

RRPS 6th through 9th graders participate in the
2007 Annual Junior Student
Research Expo!
Our Junior Researchers do work that just...





Like the Senior EXPO, the Junior Research EXPO is designed to help students develop critical thinking skills by researching topics of interest in a variety of disciplines. It addresses the first strand of our State Science Standards which emphasize the process of scientific inquiry and the importance of experimentation. It also serves to build confidence and self-esteem in students.
The EXPO helps younger students develop the research and presentation skills needed to develop sound research-based projects at the junior level and build a solid foundation to compete successfully at the Senior EXPO level. Volunteers helped us to judge Junior EXPO projects at each of the following sites:
- Rio Rancho Mid High (See the slide shows | View the Final Awards)
Thursday January 18, 2007 - Eagle Ridge Middle School (See the slide show | View the Final Awards)
Friday January 19, 2007 - Mountain View Middle School (See the slide show)
Thursday January 25, 2007 - Lincoln Middle School (See the slide show)
Tuesday January 23, 2007 - View the High School EXPO Shows!
A huge thanks to the Intel Foundation for their generous support which made this event possible. And thanks to Dan Barbour, SciMatics Academy Head at RRHS and Deb Loftin, Coordinator, for their enormous time and effort in dealing with the thousand details to make this event a reality.
IMPORTANT SITES:- All Required Forms (scroll down the page when you get there; All ISEF forms are the same at the Junior and Senior Level). At the Junior Level Human Subjects Projects are Strongly Discouraged since they must meet the same strict requirements as the Senior Level. Some strictly observational projects of humans may be allowed, but will require Form 4 be completed. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ADOBE READER SO YOU CAN OPEN THESE FORMS.
