The 37th annual science fair was held at Black River Education Center on Thursday, February 11, 2010.
Seven students participated in the fair. There were five judges in attendance from Ashland University Geology Club and Tri-Beta .
The results were as follows:
John Ziebro (11) “Determining the Heat of Solution of Sucrose vs. Nuva” (Superior)
Alissa Brown (11) “The Effects of Tooth Decay” (Excellent)
Kurt Eberhardt (11) “Reuben’s Tube” (Excellent)
Katie Nowlin (11) “Ph Frenzy” (Excellent)
Corinne Volcansek (12) “Jeans” (Excellent)
(Picture unavailable at this time.)

Having earned a Superior Rating, John Ziebro may now represent Black River High School at this year’s Mohican District Science Day at Ashland University on March 27, 2010.
Thanks to all that participated and “Congratulations” for a Great Job!!!!
Coke & Mentos
(To see movie click on the button above)
Garrett Sanford and Dan Worley demonstrate the Coke & Mentos powered car they built for their "Newton's Nightmare" project -- but things don't go quite as planned. All students built a machine or device and had to explain how it worked using Newton's Laws of motion and other principles of physics. Onlookers are classmates Brianna Barkhimer, Brittany Leiby, Matt Ironwing, Matt Kelley, Mark Williams, Paula Lower, Spencer Dennis, and Rachel Chapman.
"Pride, Accountability and Caring"
(To see movie click on the button above)
One of the BRHS "Pride, Accountability and Caring" groups builds teamwork skills through a set of three challenges: tying a knot in a "human rope", tying a pair of shoelaces while holding hands, and (similarly) tying closed a balloon. Pictured are Casey Unger, Tyler Will, Ryan Schoenbeck, Cassondra Zumack, Nicole Thoerner, Paige White, Ben Unangst, Josh Prostejovsky, Diego Pardeda, Alex Vonderau and Dr. V (PAC advisor). PAC groups meet monthly and participate in activities designed by each department. Next month: Junk Sculptures.
"Motion"
(To see movie click on the button above)
As part of the "Motion" unit, students in freshman Physical Science measure the acceleration and deceleration of a steel ball rolling down a shallow ramp and onto a level track. Students place pennies at the location of the ball each second, as indicated by a metronome. They'll later analyze their displacement-versus-time plots for signs of acceleration. From the rear: Brooke Stefano, Dakota Kuntz, Alex Kramer and (hand only) Hannah Powell.
