In this episode of 'Camp Hain,' Tia Hain discusses the integral role of science education in Classical Conversations' Challenge A program, focusing on the Science Fair. Inspired by a Carl Sagan quote, she emphasizes the societal dependency on science and technology. Tia shares her personal experience and insights into Classical Conversations' approach, detailing how her class prepared for their Science Fair held two days prior to recording. She introduces a Science Lab Journal as an essential tool, offering a step-by-step breakdown from week 11 to week 19 on how to prepare, conduct experiments, and present findings. This episode serves as a comprehensive guide for both new and experienced Classical Conversations directors, homeschooling parents, and students involved in Science Fair projects.
