Seventh and eighth students channeled their creativity and curiosity to create science projects for the Monroe Science Fair in April.
The science fair was sponsored by Youth Medical Mentorship and the Ed Darby Foundation. Medical students from the Youth Medical Mentorship program served as judges for the event. They asked each student questions about their projects to learn more about their process and results before deciding who earned the top spots.
The seventh grade projects were:
- Can Plants Stop Soil Erosion? by Trinity Barrett (1st Place)
- How to Turn Produce into a Battery by Roxy Dixon Buckmaster and Freedom Gable (2nd Place)
- Building a Simple Solar Oven by Carley Davis (3rd Place)
- Hand-eye Dominance in Basketball by Darren Gillespie
- Creating Glowing Bacteria by Giovanny Martinez-Chavez
- Carrying Capacity of a Drone by Jordyn McDowell
The eighth grade projects were:
- Risk-taking Behavior in Adolescents by Mason Brown
- Glider Model Airplane Flying Distance by Anthony Chairez and Syles Marcedes
- Manipulating Magnets by Frehley Galindo
- Carrying Capacity of a Drone by Donnie Littrell
- Popping Boba by Mi'Angel Kyles and Nicole Vogel
- The Unique and Intelligent Orangutan by Johnny Willis
Community organizations, including the Tulsa Zoo, Tulsa Farm Lab, and Tulsa Regional STEM Alliance, set up interactive booths for students and families to enjoy during the evening.
