This year Dr. Jones, Lefford, Penney and Woodbury from the Medical School judged. Dr. Dixon Woodbury judging a science fair project. Emphasis for the children has been on doing science projects at the earliest age and in getting positive feedback on their efforts. Students in grades kindergarten through third may do projects involving demonstrations, models, etc. Students in grades four through six are encouraged to do projects where a hypothesis is stated and data are collected to confirm or reject the hypothesis, a process used by most working scientists.
All students receive a blue ribbon.
