| Brockton Christian School Science Fair
The annual Science Fair was held at Brockton Christian School on Monday, March 26, 2007. This year's Overall Champion Award was given to Kayhla Ainslee, a 6th grade student. Her project was titled, "Does a Guinea Pig have a memory like a human?”. Kayhla created a maze for a guinea pig, and logged how long it took the guinea pig to learn to navigate the maze to the end. All of the sixth through eighth graders competed in the Science Fair.
First place winner in the 8th grade was Brianna Morrell, with 2nd place going to Lynea Adams. Their projects were titled "Energy drinks: do they really give you wings?” and “How is the conductivity of water affected when substances are added?”, respectively. Brian Myette and Emily Franceschi tied for 3rd place. Their projects were titled “Does breakfast affect schoolwork?” and “Do cell phones affect reaction time?”, respectively.
The 7th grade's 1st place winner was Nina Ciulla-Monteiro with "Which soda has more carbonation?”. Luke Ferreira finished in 2nd place with "Can you make sense of scents?” Placing third was Rebekah Lunsford with “Does a heavy backpack affect a person’s height?"
Danielle Austin won 1st place in the 6th grade with “How reliable are eyewitness reports?” Blake Ayemoba placed in 2nd place with “How do dyes work?” Tori Warren placed 3rd with “What is osmosis?”
Projects were judged by several volunteers from the community, including: Mr. Sherm Caswell, Mr. Richard Lessard, and Mr. David Durang (BCS parent), local engineers; BCS parents Mr. Stephen Ferreira and Mr. Jeffrey Kasica; along with Mrs. Joanne Shepard, Trinity administrative secretary and Rev. Dr. Mark Oliver, Trinity Baptist Church Pastor. Mrs. Roxanne Adams and Mr. Les Doherty served as volunteers for the Science Fair. Mrs. Rosanna Kingsley and Mrs. Janet Aronson, Science teachers at Brockton Christian School, served as resources for the students. The Science Fair was coordinated by BCS Business Manager Mrs. Debra Powell.
The Science Fair winners will all be attending the ACSI Regional Science Fair in May, which will be held at the New Testament Christian School in Norton, Massachusetts.
