Successful Science Fair 2013

Clearwater Academy students showed their science savvy this year at our 2013 Science Fair. First grade through twelfth grade students applied science to interests in their life with research and experimentation, and then presented their findings at the fair. Presentation boards were created to show their findings and the judges questioned each student about their experiment and knowledge of the subject.

Our students’ wide array of interests were evident; there were projects about collecting water in the wild, hunger’s effect on memory, building an underwater robot, extracting DNA from fruit and the effects of ethanol alcohol on gasoline to name just a few.

Do you want to know how to boost your WiFi signal in your home? Just ask Zach Odom, the Overall School Science Fair Champion, about his project. Zach has a strong interest in computers so he researched a very practical problem of how to increase a WiFi signal.

Ms. Kelly Odom, Group Projects Lead Teacher, was very pleased with the projects this year. She said with the implementation of a new format for the Science Fair, the quality of the students’ projects has reached a new level. This year eight Clearwater Academy students have qualified to participate in the Pinellas Regional Science Fair 2013 being held in February.

Congratulations to all our students who participated in this year’s Science Fair.
