Copper Scientists heading to County Science Fair

Three Copperopolis Elementary 5th graders will be heading to the County wide science fair this weekend with their winning science projects.

First place went to McKenzie Blair for "Which plant will grow faster? One in the front yard or one in the backyard?" Using tomatoe plants McKenzie and her parents planted a plant in the front and in the back. McKenzie hypothesized that the one in the back would grow faster because it had more sunshine and she was correct.

McKenzie's favorite subject in school is science and her hobbies are gymnastics and rock collecting. She loves working in the yard with her parents.




Second place went to Cooper Morlan for "Wake up and smell the acid! Which brand of coffee is the most acidic?"


Third place went to Ashlynn Atkins for "Penelope's Adventures. Can a hamster learn a maze in a matter of four tries."
