Science takes the spotlight at Portola Valley Schools this week when students from kindergarten to eighth-grade display their projects at science fairs with family nights Tuesday, Jan. 23, at Corte Madera and Wednesday, Jan. 24, at Ormondale.
Family nights are 6 to 7:30 p.m. at both schools where students will show and talk about their experiments in each school’s multi-use room.
An added attraction to students’ exhibits at Corte Madera will be a presentation by scientist Michael Rowe, who at 7 p.m. will share his adventures and slides from his recent trip to the Galapagos. He is the director of business development at Caliper Lifesciences in Mountain View .
“Habitats” is the overall theme for the Ormondale fair. Kindergartners through third-graders have studied and created their models of different living environments.
Corte Madera, the district’s grade 4-8 school, is located at 4575 Alpine Road; Ormondale is at 200 Shawnee Pass, Portola Valley.
