Rocket scientists present findings at annual science fair
Students showcased their projects at the Science Department’s annual science fair, some using their love of biking, technology, or sunshine as the basis for their projects.
Projects ranged from Can I change my brain waves? to Effects of Sunscreen on Daphnia magna. Sophomore Nico Voegele, first-place winner, explored if the length of a VSB-C Cable would have an effect on the amount of time needed to fully charge a device, while sophomore Annabel Moeves, second-place winner, investigated which exercise would have the most significant afterburn: running, biking, or lifting.
Great work Rockets!
