The county-wide competition included a total of 120 projects with Woodlands Christian bringing home 24 of the 53 medals awarded! Students have been working on their projects since August preparing full research papers and project display boards. In addition, students gave oral presentations about their projects to the judges at the competition. See below for a complete list of Sci://Tech winners. Not to be outdone, 6th grade students have been working on science projects of a different sort 7th grade Energy/Transportation/Computer Division Sam Powers, Insulation Sensation - 2nd place 7th grade Engineering/Physics Division Luke Ledbetter, Oobleck Monster - 2nd place 7th grade Biochemistry/Microbiology Division Danielle Wassell, Fermentation Neutralization - 1st place Logan Lusk, Five Second Rule - 3rd place 7th grade Sports Science Division Peyton Bowen, Walk, Talk & Dribble - 1st place 7th Grade Food Science Autumn Goodwin, Crunch A Bunch - 2nd place 7th grade Medicion/Health/Zoology Division Alex Gelb, No Pressure! - 1st place Matt Michel, The Lure of Lures - 2nd place Lauren Reagan, The Decayed - 3rd place 7th grade Behavior/Social Sciences Division Zane Marcinkovich, Speed Cola - 3rd place 7th grade Chemistry Division Ethan Peters, Electrolyte Explosion - 3rd place
developing science blogs throughout the school year. Students blogged on the progress of various experiments by incorporating photographs, graphs and widgets to demonstrate the scientific methods used in their experiments. The blogs were entered in the Sci:Blogz competition, a county-wide event open to public and private schools, also sponsored by EfTA. Jordan Andrus, Tommy Freet and Erica Owens were selected as finalists and will proceed to the next round of competition on February 2, 2013. A special thank you goes out to Mrs. Krisha Goodney who not only coordinated the 6th grade blog projects but was the chairperson for the entire Sci://Tech private school division competition. Mrs. Goodney spent many hours outside of class organizing, emailing, categorizing projects, developing judging materials, tallying results, and overseeing the awards ceremonies. We applaud her efforts in this worthwhile endeavor which so greatly benefits our students.
