Hands-on Learning at Science Fair

Students and visitors learn at St. Charles School science and academic fair.

  Blubber.  No, not to cry. That fatty substance that keeps certain cold-water swimmers warm. Elyse Masandi turned blubber—OK, Crisco—into an award- winning science fair project. The seventh grader at St. Charles School took first place in her grade. Masandi made “blubber gloves” for visitors at the science fair to test. People who braved the “eeew” factor found that they couldn’t feel the cold water they plunged their gloved hand into at all, according to the Woburn resident. Some hockey players told Masandi that, she said, they’d use her device for hockey.

Holly Brown to Compete for State Geo Bee Title

One of 100 contestants, she's an eighth-grader at the Kennedy Middle School.

  Holly Brown and her classmates picked up their pencils and began to answer multiple-choice questions about geography. One of the questions:  “The Bitterroot Range is located on the border of Montana and what other state?” Brown, an eighth-grader at the Kennedy Middle School, put herself on the map by winning the school level of the National Geographic Geography Bee. Now, she’s headed to state competition. Brown has been putting in time after homework—about half an hour, but not every day—to study geography, from US cities and states to international locations to physical geography—“like the continental shelf”—to bodies of water and cultural geography. “There’s a lot of stuff,” she said.
