Show Park City News Thursday, April 7, 1983 Page A9 Fair puts spotlight on future scientists The fourth annual Park City High School Science Fair held Tuesday attracted 74 participants, 14 more than last year. According to Mr. Moose Smith, science teacher teach-er at the High School, the increased enthusiasm can be attributed to Maggie Hawn, who has the prime responsibility responsi-bility for discovering latent scientific talents in the ninth grade, and Myron Hartz who works with grades 10-12. The projects were judged by eight graduate students from the University of Utah College of Science and the winners were announced Tuesday night. "The judging is difficult," explained Smith "There are two very different differ-ent categories. First are the exhibits which involve experimentation ex-perimentation and creativity. creativi-ty. That's where you find the future scientists. But then there are the demonstration projects which are very good too." Greg Reed won first place in the ninth grade biological sciences with a project that illustrated "What is Dia betes?" Michelle Harding's "It's a Small World" was second and Greg King and Jay Worley teamed up one project called "In Vitro Fertilization" for third. Layle Arenskov and Erin Bolton took first in the physical science division with a project describing "Electrolysis of Water." Holly Allred earned second by creating "A Resourceful Residence." Pam Finegan's "Molecules in Motion" came in third and Robert Sevier and Grant Thomas placed fourth with "Lava." Sevier and Thomas's exhibit received re-ceived a special mention during the awards ceremony. cere-mony. "I must say, the judges were very impressed with the eruption they witnessed wit-nessed this afternoon," said Smith. David Van Luven addressed address-ed the question "Can the Aura Move Objects?" and won first place among the 10-12 grade biological science sci-ence projects.

Wendy Green's "Plants and How They Grow" was judged a fourth place winner. Of the 10-12 grade physical science winners, Smith said "Only the dedicated make the effort." Lynnette Boeck's "Friction" display won first and Casey Wright's "Electrode Potentials of the Metals Activity Series" was second. Calculators were given away with the Grand Prize honors. Chris Carlson's "Frogs and Toads" won fifth place and Randy Dyer's exhibit which explained "The Aerodynamics of Cars" won fourth. Jill Schet-tler Schet-tler earned third with a timely project called "Acid Rain: The Environmental Time Bomb." Andrew Limpert and Sadi Nacki will have to figure out how to split their calculator which they won with a collaborative effort entitled "How to Use a Seat Belt." The first place grand prize went to Mike Lindskov. Lindskov's project was called call-ed "Cost Effective Photovol- taics in Power Satellites." "It's easier to understand," under-stand," he said, "if you substitute the word 'solar' for photovoltaic." It still seemed like a pretty weighty subject for an eleventh elev-enth grader and his mother confided, "I've looked it over for a couple of days and I'm not sure I understand it yet." "It's obvious Mike has delved into some complex electronics," commented Smith. "And you can see that he really knows the material. materi-al. It's not just taken out of a textbook," he added. Many of the winners will be taking their projects to the Metropolitan Science Fair in Salt Lake City next week.
