Under the direction of Idle Hour Elementary School teachers Lori Gehrke and Tracy McIntyre, students used the scientific method to study a subject of interest and create a project for the school’s annual science fair, which was later held for parents in the school’s cafetorium.

Grade winners of the fair were the following:
Nicholas Monastero (kindergarten) – “Hot Wheels Race Off”
Jensen Woerner (grade 1) – “What’s the Scoop”
Natalie Lehneis (grade 2) – “Flours’ Affect on Cookies”
Dylan Getty (grade 3) – “Will Cars Stop More if a Person is There?”
Owen Spears (grade 4) – “Does Color Paper Affect Math Performance?”
Jillian Woerner (grade 5) – “Color Confusion”
All grade-level winners will now compete in the Brookhaven National Laboratory Science Fair this spring.
