Outstanding science fair projects from the District Science Fair last week will go on to regional competition.
A total of 30 entries, including nine from Summerland Middle School students, were chosen.
Raja Gupta, science teacher at Summerland Secondary School and an organizer of the science fair, said this year’s entries were good.
“I am always pleasantly surprised by the variety of topics covered each year and this year was no exception,” he said. “Would it be feasible to have all of Summerland use solar power? Can you make a car run on wood? Just a few of the amazing questions which were addressed in student projects.”
In past years, some of the Summerland entries have done well at regional and national competitions.
The following are the winning entries from Summerland students.
