On Sunday, Jan. 29, students of Our Lady of Fatima Parish School debuted science projects they had completed. The experiments ranged in complexity and focus—one took a look at the significance of golf ball short game responses and another explored how sugar crystals form within fudge under different temperatures.
The students’ science projects were judged by the science teachers.
