Phytoplankton and Sunscreen

Relevant learning empowers students to gain knowledge through subjects that have meaning. One way we do that is through science fair projects such as this one that measures sunscreen formulas using phytoplankton!
Freshmen and sophomore students in honors science classes enter projects in the Bexar County Science Fair. This project allows students choice in their topic, depth in their research, and relevant learning opportunities that garner feedback from professionals in their field. What a great way for our small Christian high school students to reach out into the world!
