The public schools of the county of Charles (CCP) organized the ninth annual exhibition of history, industry, technology and science, also known as Hits, on March 22 at St. Charles high school.
Each year, the exhibition offers Student Fair and Sciences Salon projects to judge. The categories of scientific fair projects included behavior / medicine and health sciences, chemistry, space sciences, engineering, environmental sciences, life sciences, mathematical sciences, physics, physics and astronomy.
Each year, a student is named a big winner for his exhibition project. This year, the big winner was the second year Skylan Brassell in the Creative Arts Center district for her project entitled “The dissolved oxygen levels of Port Tobacco River and their correlation with turbidity, water temperature and coliforms”. Brassell has also won a first place for its secondary project, the environmental science category.
