ASF Broad Elementary School: Science Fair! The Slideshow!

The ASF Broad Street Elementary School Science Fair was absolutely the best science fair ever. Some of our favorites included "Magnetic Money," "Penny Sauce," and "Does Dish Detergent Affect Plant Growth?"

Why Magnetic Money? It turns out there is magnetic ink involved in money. We were surprised to learn about this because a lot of people thought there were magnetic strips in the paper.

Penny Sauce: what will take the tarnish off pennies? Can hot sauce do it, and if so, which hot sauce ingredients will do this? These scientists did an excellent job of isolating the ingredients one by one to see if an individual agent would clean copper, or if it required a combination of ingredients to clean copper. The combination of tomato and salt won.

Will Dish Detergent Affect Plant Growth? Yes. Do not put soap on your plants unless it is in a mild solution to kill bad bugs.

Lyndsy, Sara, and Lanham enjoyed the ASF Broad Science Fair more than they imagined possible. Thank you to everyone at ASF Broad Elementary- students, teachers, and guest scientist judges!
