The science department has been working with a number of
students recently on their science fair projects. Students in honors science classes are
required to complete a research project and presentation board. Along the way, students keep a research journal
and learn how to conduct a research investigation. This project typically counts towards the 3rd
marking period grade for students. Once
complete, students have the option of continuing on and entering the York
County Science & Engineering Fair.
The YCSEF is held near the beginning of March. Students entering the fair must also complete
a research paper and participate in an interview. This year, we had a record 53 participants
from Red Lion. This was our most
successful year in the fair. We had 15
first place awards. These students
returned to the fair for second day judging.
These students earned first place awards with their project titles:
