there will be more signups re-
ceived this week. Late entries will
be accepted up to 7 p.m. Friday,
but strictly on a space-available

The science fair is sponsored by

are eligible to participate. Entries
span four categories: physical sci-

goes to the school with the most
points based on the number of en-
tries and the rating of those en-
tries by the judges.
Projects entered for the fair in-
clude a wide variety of exhibits
from "Solar Energy" to "Erupting
Volcanos" to "The Life of an Ant."
And there are some intriguing
titles as well: "The Frozen Truth"
and "Lying with Statistics," for
instance. Folks who subscribe to
the theory that dogs don't see col-
or will be drawn to "A Dog's
Rainbow."
In addition, 16 projects related

terest of PUD 3's Education Com-
mittee. Some of those projects in-
clude: "Tin Can Electro Magnet,"
"Lemon Power" and "What's
Watt?"
