GLENDALE -- Lisa Gladstone's physical science students at Wilson
Middle School returned from the state Science Olympiad competition with
several awards.
Fifteen of Gladstone's seventh- and eighth-grade students attended the
Science Olympiad Saturday, April 13 at Cal State Long Beach.
Gladstone's students had to show proficiency and knowledge of things
like small rockets, 'battery buggies,' small airplanes, bridges, tectonic
plates, water pollutants and volcanic activity. A free-falling egg
experiment tested students' use of simple materials and creativity.
Gladstone's students took 10th overall out of 27 schools that
participated in last week's competition. Wilson students won first place
in the egg experiment and third place for bridge building and airplane
testing, as well as awards for fourth and sixth place in other
categories.
