The Central High School Walk and Talk, which included the Coosa County Science Fair and parent conferences, was held last Thursday, October 2.
While coming to view the science fair projects, parents were also given an opportunity to conference with their child’s teacher to find out ways they can help their child improve their academic performance before the first nine weeks report cards are finalized.
The science fair was held in the Central gym with a record 205 projects entered in the contest this year. Science coach Shelley Wood said, “The students did a great job of performing experiments using the scientific method. In addition, their project boards were creative and informative.”
In addition to the science fair, students presented their projects to their classmates during their science classes earlier in the week.
First place winners will receive $50, second place $40 and third place $30 at the First Nine Weeks Academic Awards Day ceremony. The projects were judged on appearance, creativity, originality, and use of the scientific method, as well as data collection and analysis. Congratulations to all our winners.
The seventh grade life science winners were: First place: Caydon Breckle (Bicycle Bombs), second place: Lee Bell (Testing Electrolytes) and third place tie: Ellie Jones (Best Heat Protectant for Hair) and Elena Robinson (Burst of Bubble).
The eighth grade physical science winners were: First place: Kaden Tindall (Breezy Alternatives: Making the Wind Work for Me), second place: MaryAnn Ward (Measuring Your Taste Threshold) and third place tie: Lily Howell (The Great Dance Shoe Showdown) and Jenni Yates (Best Water).

The tenth grade through twelfth grade physical science, earth and space science, and environmental science winners were: First place: Kendall Luke (Gas Mileage vs. Window Position), second place: Katie Griffith (Medicated vs. Non-Medicated Foods for Chickens) and third place: Bailey Childress (Best Ingredients for a Lava Lamp).
The tenth grade through twelfth grade anatomy and physiology, chemistry and physics winners were: First place tie: Siera Coontz (We eat Nails?) and Wyatt Kimbrell (Duct Tape Showdown), second place: Makayla Murray (Shine Penny Shine) and third place: Rachel Reams (Quit Fiddling Around).
Thank you to Coosa County Schools science coach Shelley Wood for coordinating the Science Fair and providing information and pictures in conjunction with the seventh and eighth grade science teacher Alicia Thompson; the biology, environmental science, and earth and space science teacher Jacques Mitchell; and the anatomy and physiology, chemistry, environmental science, physical science, and physics teacher Mary White.
