From Alternatives to Cleaning up Oil Spills to Diet Coke and Mentos to Fuel Roller Coasters: CA’s Annual Science Fair

City Academy Students display their Science Fair Projects and describe the results to teachers

The annual Science Fair at City Academy was held February 25, 2011. It was a chance for City Academy students to show off their talents for tackling issues of worldwide concern like oil pollution as well as issues that hit a little closer to home like how music affects learning. The projects were evaluated by a panel of distinguished judges with years of experience in a variety of scientific fields. The top three winners from each division received cash prizes as well as the respect and admiration of their fellow students.
