Eighth grade students finished off the year by showcasing their creativity and scientific aptitude during Assumption Catholic School’s annual Science Fair.
Held on Dec. 11, the fair granted participants the opportunity to dazzle judges with their thoughtful and curiosity-driven projects. While winter break was just over a week away, young scientists at Assumption identified their problems, posed their hypotheses and conducted experiments to prove or disprove them, creating projects to present everything to the judges.
Ultimately, eighth graders Leona Movilla-Diago and Madison Sellers took first place for their project, “Soil Sleuths;” Elizabeth Randolph was awarded second for her project, “A Sun Safe Shirt;” and Ariana and Sabrina Carrasco took third place for their project, “Does Water Make a Rocket Fly Farther?”
