Bethany School third graders shared their amazing scientific discoveries at their Science Fair.  Students experimented to either prove or disprove their hypothesis.  Projects included electricity, air pressure, liquid density, and the science of oil spills. This student tested which kind of liquid would help lima beans grow better; water, Coca-Cola, Sprite, or orange juice.  Water was the clear winner.
