Science Fairs!
Around the area, schools are beginning to hold science fairs, showcasing their students' exploration of any number of science-related topics. From plant growth to acids and bases, from memory to baking cookies, the projects covered the gamut -- all in the name of learning about the scientific method. One of the perks of being a scientist is occasionally getting asked to judge these projects, and I'm always amazed at some of the ideas these young scientists have for projects.

It's that time of year again! Time to observe, research, hypothesize, experiment, analyze, and - most importantly - learn!
Around the area, schools are beginning to hold science fairs, showcasing their students' exploration of any number of science-related topics. From plant growth to acids and bases, from memory to baking cookies, the projects covered the gamut -- all in the name of learning about the scientific method. One of the perks of being a scientist is occasionally getting asked to judge these projects, and I'm always amazed at some of the ideas these young scientists have for projects.
Take the winners from the science fair at Chesterbrook Academy in Cary as an example. A little while back, I had the privilege of being asked to help judge their science fair, and they had some impressive projects! The two top projects touched on two important topics; how can we remember things better and how can we bake better cookies?
There were some other very good projects at the science fair, and all of the students should be proud of the work they did. However, only a couple of projects were able to move on to the regional science fair to compete with projects from other local schools. Congratulations to Pranay, Grace, and Evan!
