Spark of an Idea: Regional Science and Engineering Fair Results
Anders Winans, a second-grader from Kanawha Elementary, demonstrates Friday how magnets levitate paper clips tied to a string at the Regional Science and Engineering Fair held at the Grand Pointe Conference Center. Winans said it took him four days to build the frame for his project and that the bigger the magnet, the better the levitation effect. (Photo by Douglass Huxley)
Mara Evans, a fourth-grader at Williamstown Elementary, shows judges how her solar panels activate a fan at different lighting strengths at the Regional Science and Engineering Fair held at the Grand Pointe Conference Center Friday. Evans said she got interested in solar panels after reading a book about them in her third grade reading class and that the sun produced the most energy for her fan. (Photo by Douglass Huxley)
