Move over Bill Nye—Meet the 5th grade science guys and girls!

What is quicksand? Why does ink run on paper? How do airplanes fly? What are crystals? What are fossils? Can lemon juice really "explode"? Will static electricity really generate a spark?

East Hill students had the opportunity to discover the answers to these questions and many more at the 5th grade science fair held in the East Hill gym on Thursday, May 25.

Working in teams of two or three, 5th graders presented demonstrations and displays on a wide array of topics. Students explored the basic concepts of chemistry, biology, geology and physics as they visited each booth. Some were messy, some were unexpected, but they all were fun!
