Parkland High at the District Secondary Science Fair

To read the story about the District Secondary Science Fair, go to Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools

This comes to us from Rodolfo Eric M Angat at Parkland High School:

We recently participated in District Science fair and we are very happy on the results. Here are the winning projects and their descriptions:

Category: High School, Earth and Environmental Science  

Second Place: Lenore Fredia Williams researched by comparing the pH, hardness, and phosphate contents of alkaline and tap water. She encouraged people to use tap water more rather than buy alkaline bottle water to minimize plastic pollution and save money.

Third Place: Leon Wike tested various garden hose nozzle to find out which is most efficient. Using the most efficient garden nozzle can make the job right with minimal water consumption.

Fourth Place: Kyla Remi McCoy investigated about the importance of vegetation in alleviating water pollution due to runoff. She explained the importance of riparian buffers and wetlands.

Honorable Mention Award: Azela Deashawn Jackson studied on finding out which bottled water brand has the least amount of plastic. Less plastic is good for the environment, but of course recyclables are still better.
