Your News... In Real-Time!

At Bruce Middle School we've decided to go paperless with our newsletter.

There are two advantages to this:

- The saving of paper is a savings in costs and more importantly another step in our ongoing commitment to sustainability.

- By offering news in this format, we can now provide our community with real-time news as it happens, instead of waiting until the end of the month to send out information.

Science News


This year the grade 8 students at Bruce will participate in a Special Science Project that allows a student to further explore an area of science beyond the classroom.

Each student is required to participate individually or with a partner in one of the four options:

1) Science Fair - students can choose a topic to explore, design and perform an experiment or create/design a prototype (innovation). Students choosing this option are encouraged to go green by using Keynote to create a virtual science fair board. Top projects at Bruce will be entered in the Divisional Science Fair where they will compete for a trip to the Canada Wide Science Fair in Windsor, ON.

2) Spaghetti Bridge Building - students will design, create and destroy bridges made only of spaghetti and glue. Students' final bridges will be entered in the annual APEGM Spaghetti Bridge Building Competition.

3) CurioCity's Energy4Travel Action Project - using the resources provided by Let's Talk Science's CurioCity website, students will participate in an data collection project regarding the energy used in travel.

4) Student choice - students are encouraged to find a project of their choice that incorporates science education beyond the classroom. Students wishing to pursue a personal choice project are asked to summarize the project and submit the summary to Mr. Fisher-Smith for approval.
