Science Fair Orewa College (2)

Sometimes these young students were very about their results, quite shocking for us adults!

Look at this experiment comparing the memory capabilities of adults vs kids: “Who can memorize or remember things better?” How SHOCKING, the results were even worse than we adults ever dreamt of … we all know that our memory works less good or efficient the older we get. But look at this conclusion:

”… after the age of 30 people start to have a heavy decline in memory and can only remember little amounts at a time”.

Don't read if you're older than 30!

 
OMG, I am wondering if the jury could even follow the ideas of this experiment – reading the conclusion the jury members have already forgotten what the experiment was about!!

But here is a study I really like because the students found out on their own how acid a Coca Cola drink is.
So you do not to tell your kids that Coca Cola is unhealthy, since they would not believe you anyway. But if they found out on their own, how amazing, suddenly they prefer just spring water and put the Coke aside! But I reckon, after some time they have forgotten about it (see study above, oh, sorry, I forgot, these students are not 30 yet - but I am), and I am pretty sure, drinking pure spring water is considered as pretty uncool at school!

Another experiment was quite similar: "How many sugar do you find in soft drinks like Mountain Dew?" The student wrote in the conclusion: “Mountain Dew had a shocking 12.4g of sugar in every 100ml”. Yes, this is definitely something you can call “shocking”.

Here comes Mountain Dew .... - a mere sugar bomb!
 
 
More hot topics and results in two days ….
