Winterhaven's Signature Event!
Winterhaven's Signature Event!
Every year WH students from kindergarten to 8th grade are asked to explore the scientific process by asking a question, proposing an answer, and designing and running an experiment. Students communicate their results by displaying posters of their work at the all school science fair. Posters from students in grades 6-8 are judged in a friendly competition. Parents and community members select the "best of the best" posters to represent our school at the Portland Science Expo in the spring.

The Northwest Science Expo occurs every spring at Portland State University. Winterhaven is permitted 10 spots at middle school level (5th - 9th grade). The top 3 winners for each grade level at the Winterhaven Science fair form our Expo Team. Faculty determine which students will attend based on a number of factors (judges' scores, project subject, student availability, meeting of Science Expo guidelines, etc).
