Students at Grace Christian Academy had their science thinking hats on for the past month, preparing for the school\u2019s two-day annual Science Fair, which took place this Thursday and Friday. <\/p>\n
In all, about 200 projects, 48 from the junior high and high school levels, were submitted for judging from students between kindergarten and 12th grade. Students from each grade level had designated times for evaluating each project.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt took about a week or two to complete our project,\u201d said Joshua Borja, a 6th grade student who, along with classmates Marty Mendez and Andy Tse, tested the effect water may have on an object if enough water pressure is applied. \u201cI would go fishing with my dad, and I\u2019ve always wanted to learn more about water. So I learned a lot, even from looking at the other projects.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another project, this time by Olivia Leung and Clara Dela Cruz, highlighted the effect of air taking up space.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wanted to know what air can do, and we found out that it does take up space. If there\u2019s air in a bottle, and you try to force water in, it wouldn\u2019t go in if the air does not come out,\u201d Dela Cruz said.<\/p>\n
Event coordinator Leah Dalusung, a teacher at the institution, commended the students for \u201call their hard work\u201d and reiterated the importance of providing a venue for students to explore the subject.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe students all worked very hard and did a good job,\u201d she said. \u201cThey learned a lot about science, and this kind of event helps them build up interest in science. Hopefully, in the future, the students will be able to invent something that will benefit everyone. They would apply what they\u2019ve learned here.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
