LANNAMAN'S Preparatory School hosted its annual science fair at the school on June 11, in the form of a competition where grade six students displayed projects with aim of getting the lower grades interested in science.

This year the projects were judged by lecturers from the University of Technology and University of the West Indies, along with engineers from the Jamaica Public Service Company and the National Solid Waste Management Authority.

This years' winners were the 'farmer girls', whose project explored whether plants grew faster in milk or water. Second place went to the students who experimented with dry ice, and third place to a group of boys who made enough voltage from Irish potatoes to light up an LED bulb. Here are some highlights from the event: One of the projects on display. A judge inspects these boys' potato project. These boys display their insulation project.
