Adair-Casey/Guthrie Center High School traveled to Fort Dodge last weekend for the Iowa Science and Engineering Fair and four students came home with some hardware.

Haley Cose’s project called, “Recreating Parasaurolophus Resonation Chambers,” received four awards in the Dinosaur Vocalization category. Kelsey Carlson was given two awards for her project called, “What Food Helps a Venus Flytrap Grow?” in the Plant Science category. Justin Reinhart participated in the category of Social Media Pandemic and his project called, “Analyzing the Impact of Social Media on Brain Waves,” which also won four awards. Kierston Knobbe won seven awards at the fair with her project called, “Creating a Water Filtration and Sanitation Method For Developing Countries from the category of Turbid or Not Turbid?” 

Those four students will also travel to Ames to compete in the Iowa State Science Fair on March 24th for a chance to win more awards and to participate at the International Science Fair. To see a full list of the awards find the information below.
