10 The Post SCHOOL Sunday, May 23, 2004 Winners named in Dallas Middle School science fair More than 200 students pre- sented projects for judging in the Dallas Middle School eighth grade Science Fair. “They are fantastic,” said Kristi Concannon, professor of Physics at King’s College. “I've seen some presentations that were better than my college students’.” The annual event is a collab- oration between the Science and English departments. Each student is required to do an experiment using proper scientific method and to write a research paper about that ex- periment. They are graded by both their Science and English teachers for their efforts. In addition, the projects are offi- cially judged after an individ- ual presentation to one of the judges. Science teachers and professors from Dallas High School, Penn State Wilkes- Barre Campus, College Miseri- cordia, King’s College and Wilkes University participated as judges. “I think it is very interesting just to see what interests the kids,” said Brian Williams, a chemistry teacher at King’s College. “One student watched a Discovery Channel show about tsunamis, which led to his project about tsunamis.” Students could choose to do a project in three different cat- egories. Winners were: Environmental and Behav- ioral Science: Lindsey Daven- port, first place; Diana Smith, second place; Kelsey Blask- iewicz, third place. Life Science: Jordan Thi- mot, first; Virginia Reinert, second; Ally Evans, third. Physical Science: Matt Glicini, first; Ilya Voladorsky, second; Peter Tomczyk, third.
