The Science Behind the Magic Theme: Communication Students are performing a scientific demonstration for Exhibition. The demonstration is either a chemical reaction, a density demonstration, or a motion application. Students are also creating a presentation with diagrams and/or photos to communicate science and math they learned this trimester. They are also reenacting this demonstration on Exhibition night with the appropriate materials. The final component will be an essay with mathematical formulas, charts, or graphs, which clearly and scientifically communicate how the demonstration works.
