Feature Article Junior High Students Shine at the Science Fair
Everyone could tell that it was science fair time again. It was very evident. All the clues were there; Mr. Briner gave the FINAL deadline, "Science Fair projects are to be set up in the gym no later than 8:00 a.m. on Friday." Students rushed hurriedly from class to speak with the judges and answer all of their questions. Words like "hypothesis," "conclusion,"  "experiment," and "variable" were heard above the din in the junior high hallways. After two days of judging, the winners were declared and honored at an awards ceremony last Thursday night. Awards were handed out for receiving 3rd place, 2nd place, 1st place, Grand Prize, and the coveted Best In Show in both 7th and 8th grade.
