This will be a short week as the school year is ending. What a wonderful year this was. I sincerely enjoyed teaching all the students science at SPN. Thank you to all the parents who helped out on field trips. Your help was always a phone call away and the Middle School trips could not have happened without your support. San Francisco Bay Area Science Fair: 3rd place Aidan Deak 3rd place Courtney Sojinaga Congratulations!!!!!!! Diocese Science Fair: Second Place: Nicholas Ratto Aidan Deak Third Place: Courtney Shojinaga Honorable Mention: Marissa Murphy Congratulations to all SPN Participants I would like to thank the 7th grade parents who chaperoned the 7th grade field, and for making it a fun day for everyone. 2010 SPN Science Fair Results 6th Grade 1st place Alexander Elfar--Tooth Enamel Erosion 2nd place Emma Doud--Sunlight and Seeding Plants 3rd place Scout Coberg--Veggie Power Isabel Reyes 4th place Aaron Ramos--Do Magnets have an effect on Plants? 4th place Ellie Seiwald--What is the best medium to grow a pumkin seed in? 5th place Isabel Saxton--Will homemade toothpaste whiten teeth faster than store bought toothpaste in a 4 week period of time? 6th place Daniel Ratto--What Activities Increase your heart rate the most? 6th place Quinn Gilchrest--Apple Decomposition 7th Grade 1st place Michael Murphy--Whash your hands 2nd place Rosie Rumberger--Cookie Query 3nd place Matthew Murphy--Better living through chemistry 4th place Courtney Shojinaga--Pendulum Puzzle 5th place Kaytlyn Lozano-Using your Noodle 6th place Joshua Takeuchi--Natural Energy Sources 6th place George McGreehan--Types of wood a buring issue 8th Grade 1st place Aidan Deak--Which color of the light spectrum has the highest energy? 2nd place Marissa Murphy--Which absorbs oil the best? 3rd place Nicholas Ratto--Fault and Friction Why do different types of earthquake fault lines react differently to stress and ruptures? 4th place Colleen Anders--Can we demonstrate Lenz law using a copper tube, steel, and a neodymium magnet? 5th place What section of town has the most pollution in the form of airborne particles? 6th place Melanie Shojinaga--How much energy do we save by using compact fluorescent light bulbs instead of Incandescent light bults? 6th place Madeleine Doud--Condensation Every Thursday students who need help with their work can come to the lab after school.
