Fifth and sixth graders from Wells Road Intermediate School demonstrated to the Board of Education on Wednesday how they analyzed and synthesized information to solve real-life problems.

Fifth graders were given the task of developing new instruments that had six pitches, while sixth graders were challenged with growing plants at a greater rate through the use of a specific variable, such as air or light.

See the accompanying photo gallery for what transpired Wednesday evening.
