Vincent Ponce project is about radiation,he had 12 different examples. What i fond out interesting was that marshmallow will expand if in a microwave. The hypothesis of the project is "Will marshmallow expand and explode in a microwave". He test his hypothesis by putting the marmellow in a bowl,the materials he used where:marshmallows,a bowl,and microwave. His hypothesis was correct and not correct because it did expand but it did not explode.

Vincent's project was interesting and very original. I like how he showed he was right and also not right.
Eduardo Arroyo The Potato Battery
My Hypothesies is that The Potato Battery can power up a clock and a super bright light. We used information on our poster to show more about the effects of e poato battery. They helped me in understanding that the visual aids need more than 4 pieces of information. What i liked about the project is that potato was connected to the voltage meter and when the needles were connected to the potato, it made the potato go to 110%. Eduardo Arroyo,.

During the excitement of the 2014 Science Fair at St. Bernard Catholic School, I was able to interview one of the 8th grade students and take a look at an experiment as part of an assignment. I interviewed Daniel Palomo on his experiment titled “Is There a Health Hazard in Everyday Use Water”. After conducting his research that different substances were found in water, he came up with the hypothesis that there was no health hazard in drinking water but there may be in tap water. Using certain items that he did not mention what they were, he measured the levels of pH and other substances in the water. Daniel used a camera to photograph his measurements and used the photographs as visual aids. He disproved his hypothesis by proving that there was actually a higher pH level in drinking water. After interviewing Daniel Palomo, I learned to be more cautious with the water I drink because it could be hazardous to my health.

Very interesting analysis of this experiment. I like how Mr. Daniel Palomo said to be careful with the water we drink, proving his hypothesis that water can be dangerous.

Autum's hypothesis was that something would get stuck in quick sand when you put something in it. She used pictures and facts as her visual aids. It helped me understand her central message to her project. I liked that she made her own quick sand. I learned that quicksand is unsafe.

Photosynthesis
The hypothesis was that the plant with the most sun and water, would grow up to be a healthy plant. Some visual aids that helped convey the project was a healthy plant, a drawing, and graphs. The visual aids helped me understand what had happened and how photosynthesis works. What I liked about the project was the visual aids. This told me a lot about the project. I learned how photosynthesis works. Joshua Moran 7th Grade

My name is Michelle Barraza. I interviewed Thomas Moscato. His experiment was on How Muscles Work. Thomas did not have a hypothesis based on his experiment. Thomas had pictures of the body and the muscles and charts showing the abilities the muscles can perform. They helped me understand how the muscles work, where the muscles can be located in the human body, and what muscles are able to do. One thing that I found interesting was his demonstration of a human muscle he made. He used a balloon, paper towel roles, rubber bands, and screws. I learned that muscles have certain abilities and sometimes they can not be flexed out as much as some people want them to be. I thought this science fair project was interesting and I think it was worthy of a prize.

1) The project I was assigned was titled, "How Long Does it Take Each Planet to Rotate Around the Sun?: by Destiny Segura."
2) The types of visual aids I saw was a model of the solar system, a picture of the planets aligning, and a chart with the number of seconds it took the planet to rotate around the sun.
3) I found it interesting that there was a model of the solar system. I learned that Uranus rotates around the sun faster than Saturn and Jupiter.
4) The hypothesis was, "The closer the planet is to the sun, the faster it will take to rotate."
5) For the experiment, she timed how long it took for each planet to rotate around the sun. She used a timer and a model of the solar system.
6) Her hypothesis was incorrect. I know this because Uranus rotated around the sun faster than Saturn and Jupiter.

2) If you spin an egg will the egg displace the yolk?
3) Pictures were used to show that the egg will displace the yolk and the picture helped me because it showed how it worked.
4) I think that the experiment was the best part

1.) Christian Cazian’s project was on Radiation.
2.) Christian’s hypothesis was that the marshmallow was going to become big and mushy.
3.) The visual aids that were used was a bowl, a marshmallow, a peep, and a spoon. They helped me understand that radiation can change and harm objects.
4.) I liked the experiment because they put up pictures to show people what radiation does. I learned that radiation changes things.

Here is my other reflection I did the first one wrong. The project that I interviewed was Aeris De leon and she did Centrifugal Force. This project was very interesting because she says that there is no such thing as Centrifugal force but it does existed. Her hypothesis was What happens when you spin the egg? The visual aids that were there was when she was doing the experiment she printed out pictures to show the steps of the experiment. The best thing was when she was doing the experiment and the examples of the eggs when they displace. I learned they there is such thing as Centrifugal Force and the world does need it. -Ashley Reyes

Hi, my name is Daniel Valdez. Since I was absent for the duration of the Science Fair, I will do a reflection on my own project. The title of my project was "Can Video Games Improve Your Intelligence?" by Daniel Valdez and Mark Camarena. I think the project was conducted very smoothly. The only difficulties involved in this experiment was the stopwatch not being entirely accurate. When I analyzed the data of my project, I was shocked by the results. Video games can actually make you smart! I used graphs as visual aids for my project. I liked the experiment because it was simple and fairly easy to conduct. Lastly, our hypothesis was "Can video games improve your intelligence". Thank you for reading my reflection of the 2014 Science Fair.

The science project that I investigated in was "Can Video Games Improve Your Intelligence?" by Daniel Valdez and Mark Camerena. The hypothesis of the project was video games can improve your cognitive skills. Three charts and tables were included in the project as visual aids to help understand the data of different reactions. I found that the experiment was very unique. One thing I learned was that the game, Super Mario 64 can help improve parts of the brain, such as memory, strategic planning and fine motor skills. ~ Aleigha Smith

The science fair project I'm reflecting is Mark Camarena's and Danny Valdez's, "Can video games improve your intelligence." The hypothesis was, "Video games can improve your cognitive skills." The visual aids that were used were charts and tests. They helped me understand the process of the experiment. I liked how detailed the charts were. I learned about how video can improve your reaction skills.
The title of my experiment was Does Shoe Design Affect How High You Jump. My hypothesis is that the more weight a shoe has the lower you are going to jump. Therefore when we tested jumping without any shoes you jump the highest. The visual aids we used are pictures and graphs these helped us analyze our data. It also helped us analyze how high we jumped. One thing that I liked about our experiment is that I got to buy new shoes for it and I also learned that shoes don't really make a difference in how high you jump. It depends on your muscles

The title of the my science project was if shoe design effect the jumping height of a person. My hypothesis is that the more weight that the shoe has, the lower you are going to jump. So if you are not wearing any shoes, you would jumper higher. Some visual aids that I used were pictures and graphs. What they helped me on was showing how my hypothesis was true. It also helped us analyze the data. What I liked about the experiment was that I had a topic that I really enjoy, which is basketball. What I learned in this experiment is that you jump higher without any shoes because you don't have any weight on your feet.

As a participant of the Science Fair, I, Kimberly Marquez, interviewed Matthew Villanueva on his project named "The Burning Cup" experiment. In his experiment, I can see that the types of visuals he used were pictures. Something I found interesting were the results, I found out that the fire would leave the water untouched. His hypothesis was, "If fire doesn't burn water what would happen if we set fire to a paper cup with water inside the cup? Will the water stay?"

Hello my name is Destiny Segura. I, Destiny Segura, interviewed Jacob Hernandez. His project was on Dry ice vs. Refrigerated ice by: Jacob Hernandez. The hypothesis of the project was "I think the dry ice will change the water more drastically." said Jacob Hernandez. The visual aids that were used was a chart of his data and pictures of the testing that he did. The visual aids helped me understand how Jacob tested his experiment. I liked the part when the vapor bubble formed when he was testing the experiment to show the kids. I learned that dry ice will change the water drastically.

The person I interviewed was Sebastian Pena. His project was about Photosynthesis. His hypothesis is, "How can the sun reach the plants from faraway." The visual aid he used was a drawing on his poster board. The picture helped me understand the structure of photosynthesis with the sun and plants. What i like most of the project was how he drew the picture.

The title of the science fair experiment I wrote about was “Which Bridge Structure is Best?”. This project was by: Angel Aguirre, Jesse Vela, and Enrique Dominguez. Thier hypothesis was that the average bridge, suspension, beam and arch would stand up to 3 or 2.5 pounds. The visual aids they included were drawing of bridges. Theses visual aids helped me understand how each type of bridge looked. I liked that there were pictures of the bridges and all of the facts about the topic.

The project of Maegan Angeles was about how to make Quicksand. I observed her experiment up close and pictures on her experiment were shown. I found interesting that her project was unique and different from others. A new thing that I learned from her project was that making a hypothesis on an experiment can and also can not be easy because it has to be an educated guess and not a crazy random guess. Maegan's hypothesis was the quicksand will possible suck in an object if an object was to be placed on the top center of the quicksand. She tested her hypothesis by placing a pencil in the quicksand and it started to take it down to the bottom. Materials that she used were a cup of cornstarch,a half cup of water,a pencil, and also half a cup of water. She proved her hypothesis by using the experiment and she did definitely prove it and did an amazing job on it.

During the 5th Annual Science Fair, I was able to interview Ashley Reyes about her experiment on Dyslexia and Ambidextrous. The visuals that they used for their presentation were pictures and diagrams that show how dyslexia and ambidextrous can affect the brain. I found that someone with ambidextrous can write fluently with both the left and the right hand. The most interesting part of this presentation was the visual aids, and the demonstration of the experiment. Ashley hypothesized that she can write fluently with both hands. After they analyzed their data, they concluded that they were not able to write fluently with both hands.

The title of the science project is Egg in Vinegar.
The kind of visual aids that was used are examples and pictures.
I found interesting about the project is that when you leave it in the vinegar without food coloring it peals off and this is also the ting that I learned.
