2008 Science Fair

By Mary Lamare

Can subliminal perception influence your selection of M&Ms? Are eighth grade students more likely than first grade students to turn up the volume on their iPods? Want to know which potato chips really have the least oil? If you visited the middle school science fair, then you know the answers to these questions and many more. With projects ranging from the measurement of relaxation to decay rates of shark teeth, your daughters pushed the envelope of scientific research this year. Congratulations to our students and the many varied and successful experiments that they produced in 2008!
