St. Patrick’s students share their scientific discoveries
Chloe Fequiere, a seventh-grader, studied blood pressure levels in arteries and veins and worked hard to create a three-dimensional heart for her poster board, which she proudly displayed at her school’s science fair.
Chloe was one of dozens of students who created ambitious projects for the science fair at Saint Patrick Catholic Academy in Bay Ridge on Tuesday.
The fair, part of the school’s celebration of Catholic Schools Week, brought out the inner Albert Einstein in the students, who submitted projects that tested everything from the effects of sugary drinks on the body to which cereal has the most iron. The young science students showcased their projects with colorful poster boards and materials so that visitors could learn about their research and how they came to their scientific conclusions.
