“Science is simply the word we use to describe a method of organizing our curiosity” – Tim Minchin
It’s been a road paved in curiosity and excellence for these two of NDES’ 7th grade young scientists. After competing at the NDES Science Fair in January, Meghan Bhanoo andAmy Gabrovsek placed second at the NEOSEF at John Carroll University and received Superior ratings at the District Science Fair at University of Akron.
On May 13th, Meghan and Amy advanced to the State Science Day at The Ohio State University where they were recognized with Superior Ratings.
Amy, an animal enthusiast, researched and proved that changes in a dog’s diet would affect the chemistry of its blood. While Meghan, in the physics category, proved her hypothesis on the effects of pressure on the bounce of a ball. They both earned scholarships to science camps and numerous awards.
For more than 60 years, State Science Day is the pinnacle of student originated, inquiry-based science education for Ohio’s students. It is the academic equivalent of a state athletic championship and one of the largest of its kind in the nation. Drawing upon a base of over 35,000 students from more than 1,000 local school science fairs, over 1,100 students in grades 5–12 are evaluated on their scientific research and communication skills.
