District Science Fair-- March 10, 2012


Emmy did an amazing job at the District Science Fair. In this photo, she poses with the nine other people nominated for the national MASTERS award. Only 10 individuals could be nominated from our district, and Emmy was one of them!


Emmy smiles after learning that she earned a Superior rating and that she was selected to represent the district at the state science fair-- 3/10/12.


Emmy won first place in chemistry in the elementary division (and earned $75), and her friend, Meredith, won first place in chemistry in the middle school division.


Emmy smiles before the competition with her poster on "Juicy Fruit." She tested the acidity of lemons, oranges, and watermelons, and the effect of those juices on preserving apple slices. The district science fair was held at Clippinger Hall on the OU campus. She was one of the last ones excused from competition so we knew that things had gone well, but we were really super pleased with all of her awards during the award ceremony!
