Science Fair and Science Symposium

Each year several students conduct independent science research and compete at a regional science fair and a regional science symposium. Bayfield students have experienced great success - many Bayfield students have qualified for the National Junior Science & Humanities Symposium and the Intel International Science & Engineering Fair.
Recent research projects have involved the aquatic food web of the Apostle Islands region of Lake Superior, aeration of aquaculture ponds, and chicken feces as a fertilizer for blueberry plants.
