What do toothpaste, frying fat, electrolytes, hydrogen and acne creams have in common?
They’re the topics of some of the subject of winning science experiments by Niagara Catholic students who recently competed in the Niagara Regional Science and Engineering Fair in late March.
Niagara Catholic had impressive participation, with 42 projects from students in Grades 5-12 who had excelled in their school’s science fair. In the end, Niagara Catholic brought home nine awards and two honourable mentions.
