McKaylie Nixon conducted Crazy Apple research and found that color can affect our perception of taste.

Brooke Bagley researched types of materials used to fill ice bags and found that ice stayed colder longer than vegetable oil or Dr. Pepper when used in an ice bag.

“I am so proud of these students and their coaches, Linda Traughber and Jeannie Pat Jaggers,” said Annie Sims Elementary Principal Tonya Murray. “They only had 2 weeks to get ready for the science fair. They all put in a lot of hours to get ready and all of them did a great job.”
