Knowledge on display at Nova Creativity Fair

MOSES LAKE — Some of Moses Lake‘s highly capable students showed what they’re highly capable of at the Nova Creativity Fair at Knolls Vista Elementary School Monday. “For this end-of-the-year project, the kids all get to decide who they want to work with and what topic they want to research,” said Cathy Lane, who teaches the Nova program for the Moses Lake School District. “They’ve done this big research project, and then they come to present (it at) a fair. The parents and community members will come around and ask them questions about what they’ve learned.” The students had fairly free rein in their choice of topics. Lane said. There were scientific, historical and technological displays ranging from non-Newtonian fluids to the Loch Ness Monster. Each display had at least one interactive element for guests to check out, and a wall of facts, pictures and diagrams relating to the topic.
