A Publication of Florida Community College at Jacksonville Science fares well at South Campus The 35th Annual Northeast Florida Kiwanis Regional Science and Engineer— ing Fair will begin on Thursday, March 8, at FCCJ’s South Campus Gym. This year’s fair will feature over 430 student exhibitors from both private and public schools in Duval and Nassau Counties. Projects will cover a variety of subjects in behavioral and social science, bio- chemistry, botany, computer science, mathematics, zoology and others. “The projects are not just the tradi— tional chemistry and biology experir ments,” says Karen Sanchez, FCC] chemistry professor and director of the fair. “The senior high projects on health and medicine are just fascinat- ing.” Sanchez says the fair is a learning opportunity for FCC] students and encourages teachers to ask students to come out and visit and see what’s hap— pening today in science. Sanchez says the atmosphere of the science fair will be a little different than it has been in the past. This year, special activities are planned for the stu- dent exhibitors on the day of judging. “The judging can be a very stressful experience for these young people,” she says. “This year we want the students to have a happier and more positive ex— perience while participating in the fair.” Activities will include caricature draw— ings, ping’pong, pool and a mime artist. In addition, by providing small group competitions using science puzzles and games for the exhibitors, more students will be taking home small prizes. FCC] cosponsors the fair with the Kiwanis Science Fair Board and the Duval County Public Schools. Over 30 faculty members will participate in the judging of the projects. The public is invited to view the pro— jects on Friday, March 9, from 9 a.m. to 6:45 p.m. The awards ceremony will begin at 7 p.m. Winners will advance to the Florida State Science and Engineering Fair April 18v20.
