The 2005-2006 New Prague Middle School Science Fair was held on Thursday January 12 at the New Prague Middle School.

Eleven high quality projects were completed. Students studied topics such as how bananas ripen, blood pressure relating to music, the Pavlovian Response.

Each student displayed their findings on a project board and wrote a research paper. They then presented their project to several judges. Serving as judges were staff from the Middle School and High School Honor Society Members. The staff members included Ron Gunderson, Jeremy Kalal, Deb Trewartha and Chad Blaschko. High School students were Stephen Trettel, Courtney Kovala, Racheal Vikla, Chantel Liepold, Jolique Joubert and Brynia Johnson.

Each student was judged twice, and then their scores averaged. All students received a blue ribbon due to the high quality of the projects. All participants were also eligible to compete at the regional science fair in Mankato. Sixth graders can compete on Saturday April 22 and seventh and eighth graders can compete on Saturday March 4.

The NPMS Science Fair is sponsored by the New Prague Community Education Enrichment Program, with Dori Vikla and Jodi Prchal as advisors.

These are the results of the Science Fair last night. The projects were all so awesome that ALL Participants will be going on to Regionals!!

Thank you to the judges: NPHS NHS students, Mr Kallal, Mr Gunderson, Mrs Trewartha, Mr Blaschko.
