(¢ (¢ we i® Ty * @ @ «¢ 1) @ The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, May 19, 1999 11 Science takes the stage at Dallas Middle School The gymnasium at the Dallas Middle School was transformed into a forum for young scien- tists May 13, as the school held its annual scierice fair. While primarily an eighth-grade program — there were nearly 200 projects from that grade — 12 outstanding students from seventh grade and eight from sixth grade were also invited to take part. The projects and their creators were judged during the day by 20 college science instructors from King's, Wilkes, Misericordia and Penn State, and about a dozen high school science teachers and adminis- trators. Students were judged both on their project and on their oral presentation. Daniel Flynn coordinated the project, along with Robin Farrell and Mrs. Christie Potera. Flynn feels the presentations are important. “I think that adds a lot to the learning experience,” he said, after spending most of the week working with his students to prepare for the big day. Aside from having them plan their presentations, he coached them on the basics. “I shook every student's hand,” he said, to show them the proper greeting. Farrell said the projects had to be grounded on the basics. “They had to follow the scientific method,” she said, and that was . the biggest factor in determin- ing the winners. : Kristina Colladay was a bundle of nerves after winning first place in the physical sciences category. “It was mostly excitement because I really worked hard to do the project,” she said. by Ronald Bartizek Winners in the 1999 Dallas Middle School Science Fair Life Science 1st - Stephanie Yeung 2nd - Michael Yenason 3rd - Gabrielle Huh Honorable Mention - Dustin Bednarz, Samantha Oschman Behavioral Science 1st - Amy Pack 2nd - Annie Savage 3rd - Carrie Thimot Honorable Mention - Christian Cobleigh, Corey Phillips Physical Science 1st - Kristina Colladay 2nd - Joe Bednash 3rd - Steven Losh Honorable Mention - Jill Krakosky, Emily Nagy.
