The large number of student participants made the 29th Annual Science Fair a great success, and also demonstrated the high level of enthusiasm students from CNUSD have for science and math. Students from elementary to high school created incredible projects ranging from knowing which toilet paper was the strongest to discovering which octane produces the most carbon monoxide emission.
“This year we had the largest Science Fair since it became an all-volunteer event five years ago. We had a 30% increase in projects at the district fair. It wouldn’t have been possible without the volunteer efforts of teachers, the support of parents, and financial backing from our community. The cutest project from the elementary school level was, “Who has more bacteria in their mouth, my dog, my guinea pig, or my little brother?” said, Co-director Matt Newton.
There were over 4,000 science projects completed by students across the district, the top 240 advanced to the CNUSD District Fair. The top winners were Sabrina Houston, from Centennial High School, Sabrina Martin from Raney Intermediate and Matt Stevens from Temescal Valley Elementary. The top 58 from the district fair will represent CNUSD at the Inland Science Fair on April 2-3. All of the hard work and dedication put in from our students and volunteer coordinators made this year’s science fair a scientific success!
