Everest Academy Annual Science Fair 2013
On the last day of January the Middle School students
participated in our school Science Fair. They presented projects on such
diverse topics as microbiology, projectile motion, the speed of human senses,
building a better solar panel, the bounce of a basketball, and the electrical
potential of common vegetables. Our students were proud to present their
hard work to our panel of judges. Most projects had begun back in
November, others even earlier. The confidence, poise, and their grasp of
the scientific principles behind their projects astounded the judges. One
was so impressed that he asked for a tour and information for possibly sending
his own son to Everest. Thank you, middle school students and parents for
your support and all your hard work!
Congratulations to our Science Fair Winners:
1st Place
2nd Place
3rd Place
