Monday, Baldwin High students exposed plants to 2 percent milk and classical music, and dropped Mentos in Diet Coke and observed the results in order to arrive at an “educated guess.”
It was all a part of Baldwin High School’s annual science fair.
Kelsey Gunn discovered that plants exposed to classical music thrive much better than those exposed to techno music. Devante Battle and Kayla Croft exposed plants to tap water, salt water and bottled water as well as 2 percent milk to determine that the tap and bottled waters were best for plants.
Emily Griffin and Hannah Steele had three test subjects spin 10 times in a circle and measured the effects of their dizziness and the recovery times.
“What we found out was that the people wearing ear plugs recovered faster,” Griffin said. “It lessened the dizzy effect.”
Janeira Odum and partner Mia Williams placed third while looking at the effects of hydrogen peroxide on hair.
“We concluded that hydrogen peroxide exposure lightens the color of hair, affects the structure to make it more coarse and reduces its strength by ten percent,” Odum said.
The following students placed in the life science category: First place Katy McGill and Shelby Brantley; second place Hersheda Patel and Brianna Purnell; third place Mia Williams and Janeria Odum; honorable mention, Frederick Gleason and honorable mention, Jahrea Brown and Alex Morgan.
The following students placed in the physical science category: First place K.C. McGill; second place (tie) David Harshbarger and Nathan Puckett; second place (tie) Aaron Layman and Granger Harpe; third place Roman Henry and Will Ruark; and honorable mention Kaley Barker and Shelby Tanner.
Brantley and Katy McGill won for their life science project, “Reverse the Pain of Acid Rain.”
K.C. McGill won for the project, “What is an Electrolyzer?”
The projects were displayed at Monday’s Parent Teacher Student Organization meeting at Baldwin High School.
