Emerson Measures Up at Science and Engineering Fair

"Congratulations!" to our eight Emerson students for their excellent representation at the 2009-2010 Science and Engineering Fair held at UCR last night.

After completing their class science projects in January, the most outstanding projects were selected to compete in the district-wide fair.

Two Emerson students were awarded Silver medals. In the 5th grade, Pierce Webb's project award-winning project was entitled Flammable Fabrics.

Our Kindergarten prodigy, competing against students up through the 5th grade, was none other than Joseph Nieto, son of fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Nieto. His project, entitled The Big Dig, chronicled his findings when he burried and then later unearthed a variety of matter in his backyard.

Several Honorable Mention awards were presented as well, including:
Julia Mahoney, HydroPower: Does Water Flow Effect Lifting a Weight?
Jacqueline Hurtado, Help From a Dummy: Does the Pressure of a Soccer Ball Affect the Distance It Travels?
Daniel Gonzalez, Egg Substitutes
Ofek Censor, Class Mobility: Making Friends and Working Together
Ben Cattern, Classroom Bacteria
Tanya Balandin, Metals That Conduct Heat Best

Congratulations to all of the RUSD students who competed!
