David E. Norman Science Fair Tests Limits

David E. Norman elementary school students are it again – testing everything from paper towel strength to how fast a hamster runs.
The school science fair is one of six held every year, district-wide. They culminate in the district finals, scheduled Tuesday through Thursday, Feb. 15-17, at the Bristlecone Convention Center. Students taking the top of their division at the district level, proceed to the regional competition scheduled in Reno, in mid-March.
Parents and friends are invited to view the projects from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 17, at the convention center. For more information, contact Lisa Petersen, science fair coordinator for the White Pine School District, at (775) 289-4846.
