POINT PLEASANT — A sea of projects ranging from topics such as chemistry and engineering flooded the National Guard Armory on Tuesday for the Mason County Science Fair.

A total of 106 projects were presented for the Division I portion of the fair. All students who participated in this year’s fair were required to form a hypothesis and conduct an experiment. Participants also had to identify a conclusion.

In addition, students were required to use a visual display and had to present their project in front of a team of judges. Volunteers from the local community served as this year’s judges.

Students competed in 14 different categories, which included: Animal Sciences; Behavioral and Social Sciences; Biochemistry; Cellular and Molecular Biology; Chemistry; Energy and Transportation; Engineering: Electrical and Mechanical; Engineering: Materials and Bioengineering; Environmental Sciences; Mathematical Sciences; Medicine and Health Science; Microbiology; Physics and Astronomy; and Plant Sciences. There was not a separate team category for this year’s fair. Those who competed as teams were grouped in the individual category that pertained to their project."
