Ernest Ward Students Explore Past With National History Day Projects
January 27, 2010
History came alive through the eyes of students at Ernest Ward Middle School Tuesday as they displayed weeks of work on projects for National History Day.
The History Fair in the school’s gym capped off a project in which EWMS students were required to do research into an a topic on the theme Innovation in History: Impact and Change. The research was presented in exhibit form, much like the typical science fair. Students complete projects either individually or in teams of two.
“I knew I wanted to do something about agriculture,” eighth grade student Courtney Solari said. “The cotton gin seemed every interesting.”
While the other projects in the history fair were exhibited on cardboard backgrounds, Kasie Braun took a unique approach to presenting her project The Creation of Plastics. The eighth grade student constructed her exhibit from over 100 plastic bottoms “and a lot of glue”.
“It took a long time,” she said. “About four hours to put the bottles together.” That was in addition to the hours that she spent arranging her research on the bottles and writing an accompanying paper.
This was the first year Ernest Ward has participated in the national program, with the top seven projects from Ernest Ward headed next to a district competition. Those winners were:
- Victoria Wright — Barcodes
- Kasie Braun — The Creation of Plastics
- Tristen Barrett — The Airplane Connecting and Redefining the World
- Courtney Solari – The Cotton Gin: Increasing Cotton Production and Slavery
- Reagan Bell and Cheyanne Schoonover — Lasik Eye Surgery
- Samantha Barrow and Tamara Green — Womens Suffrage
- Jordan Helmken and Haley Brown — The Day That Changed History…9-11
