Science Fair at Martinez Elementary School!

The students at Martinez ES put on a Science Fair after school on Thursday (Feb. 19th). Teachers, After-School All-Stars staff members and Mad Scientists from Mad Science were guest judges for the fun and educational event. There were over 100 entries. The kids put together wonderful projects highlighting all sorts of topics including:
* Magnetism
* Electricity (from lemons)
* Weights and measures
* Chemistry experiments
* Stratoshpere Tower VS. Class Mates' Height
* Physical strength (energy)
* And many other great science projects

Great Job Martinez Elementary School!
