****************************************************************************************

Each Science class from Pre-K. through seniors will submit projects. Parents and the community will by invited to attend. Projects will be judged and awarded by the Comanche Electrical Cooperative, who will also submit photos and an article over the event in the statewide magazine, "Texas Coop Power."

The hands-on Science kits, funded by the NREA Grant, have been ordered and delivered to school. Pre-K received a kit to build circuit loops, lights, buzzers, coded messages, and motor mania. Kindergarten has a magnet kit that will allow them to make an iron detector, levitate metal rings, and craft a compass. 1st grade has an energy kit that will help them build a solar racer, a flywheel generator, and a flywheel car. 2nd grade has a new Snap Circuits Jr kit to build projects such as AM radios, burglar alarms, and doorbells. They also have a motion kit to blast their way through physics with bottle rockets, an air puck, stop watch, and jet car. 3rd grade has a Solar Science Lab to capture, control, and harness solar power to cook an egg, create weather in a casserole dish, and power a mobile with a solar cell. 3rd grade also has a Capsela kit to build action vehicles such as cars and pontons while learning about gears, energy, buoyancy, and traction. 4th grade has a rocks and minerals kit as well as an earthquake kit. 5th grade received a Snap Circuits kit to build radios, alarms, doorbells, and more. They also have a new kit to let them shape magnetic fields, bend water, create real lightning sparks, make cereal jump, and form clouds in a jar. 6th grade has a new kit to build on-off switches, mazes, and an electromagnet. They also have a new kit with 19 choices of Science Fair projects over electricity. Grades 7-12 have a kit to build a model house with solar panels, windmill, greenhouse, and desalination system. They can also build and operate an electric train, windmill, solar cooker, solar hot water tank, hygrometer, electric motor, power hoist, and a sail car. The series of experiments illustrate the adventure of building a home and living on a remote island. To survive, students must learn how to harness the power of the sun and the wind as well as tap then energy of other physical forces.

We have also received Science fair boards and headers to make professional-looking displays for the projects.
