Summit Academy held their science fair on Wednesday, March 9th. Students in Kindergarten through 4th grade completed projects as a class, while students in upper grades completed projects individually or in small groups. Dr. Ken Wareham, professor of Education at LCSC, along with 5 of his students judged the projects. In the 1st division (grades K-4) the 1st & 2nd grade class won in the creativity category. Their project tested hand washing effectiveness. The knowledge category in Division 1 was won by the 3rd & 4th grade with their project about tooth staining. The creativity award in the 2nd division (grades 5-8) was won by Nicholas Beckman and his hydraulics project. Erin Wassmuth won in the knowledge category in Division 2, having studied lung capacities. Division 3 consisted of the high school grades. A group project on hydroponics won in the creativity category. Dylan Krogh, Luke Wassmuth and Chris Chmelik grew many healthy looking plants without soil. The knowledge category was won by Ellie Watson whose project was about co-planting. The judges assessed all the projects on a numerical scale in several criteria. The 3rd & 4th grade class project had the most points and won the overall prize. They are pictured with their 1st place ribbon, knowledge award and overall trophy.
