Science Fair 2002

Held on 02.20.02 and 02.21.02, this year's science fair for grades K-5 was optional. From erupting volcanoes to rat mazes to troll boogers (yes, you read that right, troll boogers), our budding scientists really outdid themselves. Click on the thumbnails below for a closer view. (All pictures will show up in one new window ~ if your picture window minimizes when you click the next thumbnail, just maximize again to see the next picture.)
