III Corps Public Affairs
More than 100 Smith Middle
School students recently par-
ticipated in a Science Fair in
which they had to design and
conduct an independent experi-
ment.
SCIENCE TEACHERS en-
couraged all the students to try
a project.
If the students had ever
thought about anything they
were urged to research it and
try to come up with an answer.
The students did just that.
Some of the projects included
the answers to: Which popcorn
pops the fluffiest?' and do all
soaps kill bacteria? or how
about are fish affected by a
magnetic barrier?
“There is a whole spectrum

Cancer Society KCEN-TV
Channel 6 and Hillcrest Bap-

Students participate in Science Fair
of projects so you see it all”
said Sue Barber 6th grade sci-
ence teacher. “We encourage
the students to complete a
project because it encourages
higher-level thinking skills in-
stead of just memory skills.”
The students have been
working on the projects with
help at school and at home
since January.
The judging March 25 was
based on planning and organi-
zation creativity research and
the effective use of the scien-
tific method. There were sev-
eral winners in each grade
and one overall winner. Nearly
50 students advanced to the
district Science Fair March 28
at Manor Middle School.
The overall trophy winner
who was also the 8th grade
winner was Michael John. He

able” says Dick Perley Chair-
man for the American Cancer

having cancer is an automatic
death sentence and this just
isn’t true.”
