Can bananas be turned into plastic? Can you charge a phone with your bike? Can you fake at positive RAT test?


Can bananas be turned into plastic? Can you charge a phone with your bike? Can you fake at positive RAT test? Ryan Zhou, Lachie Mackenzie and Andrew Grounds (respectively) asked these questions and more during the 2022 Science Fair. At the beginning of the term Year 9 students presented their projects at school and twelve Year 9 students and one senior student were selected to progress to the Otago Science Fair. At the prize giving our 13 students won an impressive 27 prizes, including a Premier prize won by Harry Martin for his research on Crab Zonation. Congratulations to all of the Otago Science Fair selectees: Michael Buttery, Toby Hazlett, Ryan Zhou, Ben Koh, Jonny Hunter, Andrew Grounds, Jonty Ellis, Thomas Hinton, Harry Martin, Lachlan Russell, Lachie Mackenzie, Charles Copland and Edward Jennings.
