Manitoba First Nations Science Fair 2012

It was everything you wanted to know about anything you could think of and maybe a whole lot more. It was the 10th annual Manitoba First Nations Science Fair. The fair had projects you would expect from a mainstream science fair but also projects that make this science fair unique in all the country. Students from First Nations across Manitoba gathered at the Red River Community College to present their projects in this year’s MFNERC Science Fair. The variety of science projects was as diverse and unique as the communities from which they emerged. The projects ran the gamut from the type of experiments that you find in a science fair in any school in Canada such as “How does a Volcano or Tornado Work”. You will find projects asking the oldest questions in the world like, “Why is the sky blue?” and “What is a rainbow?” There were projects that delved in the fundamental questions of science such as the nature of electromagnetism, does air have volume and what is solar energy.
