COMPUTERS also provided inquisitive opportunity to test their knowledge on a Curriculum Hundreds \ BY TERRY POPE it was a chance for schools to share students have been doing since the 1984-85 school year began. When the first Brunswick County Science and Curriculum Fair ended Sunday evening, hundreds of visitors had attended the two-dav event that highlighted the county's most talented, creative and gifted students. "It gives the whole county a chance | to see what's going on," said Assistant Superintendent Ed I>emon. "Ordinarily, these are things that you don't see everyday. It also gives other schools a chance to see what is going on. We like sharing ideas." What was originally planned as a countywide science fair was changed into a science and curriculum fair last summer by Superintendent Gene Yarbrougn, when he was still ail assistant superintendent in charge of curriculum, I^mon said. "He asked the board last year to I fund this program," l^mon said. "As I Iiwuu up IU .!U|n-i iiui-ikuviil, k IUUK that responsibility." Science displays, computer projects, art works and student demonstrations filled the public assembly building at the government complex in Bolivia for two days. Winners in the county science fair were I also chosen to advance to the Southeast Regional Science, Math and Computer fair to be held Saturday in Kenansville. One of the judges for the county science fair. Gene Holand, region two science coordinator with the N.C. Department of Public Instruction, was also excited about combining the science fair into a curriculum fair for all students to enjoy. "This is an outstanding idea," Boland said. "As far as I know, this school system is the first to offer such a program, at least in my region." Among the projects judged Saturday morning were ones that sought answers to such questions as, "Is it possible to isolate a Paramecium and grow a pure culture of them?" Or, /.kiinnnn <*,.m Mallu loctc IKo niHuiviHKUi( Buiiiitau; longest in flavor Although Boland said the science projects were creative, many lacked the "experimentation process" needed to label them science projects, he added. "The four that won shov more experimentation than others. This is something we will be working with science teachers on." Students winning first-place blue ribbons in math, science and computers will display their projects this weekend in Kenansville. Science project winners are Kathy McMullen, eighth grade, Shallotte Middle School; Felicia Gore, freshman, West Brunswick High School; Kim Edwards, sophomore, North Brunswick High School; and Christy Johnson, sophomore, South Brunswick High School Redecorate your he IMtndty ? 5 ?

But she still earned , a blue ribbon for three attempts. A common checkerboard provided student Sutton Foy with a creative math project. "Since the checkerboard is made up of 64 squares (the square of 8X81 which is a square Itself, I belived the total number of all the squares would be a square itself," Foy wrote of his project. There are 204 squares on the checkerboard, he determined. Winning math projects also explored the palindrome conjecture, or changing a number within a minimum number of steps so that it is the same digits spelled backwards. For example, changing 1985 to 5891 through simple steps. Winning computer projects included an original quiz on the state of North Carolina and a quiz on plant growth.
