Gatewood Elementary School held their Second Annual Science Fair Palooza last night, starring 83 students with 62 projects! WSB contributing photojournalist Nick Adams captured the scenes. Above, children play with fog from a mix of water and dry ice; below, a crowd gathers around to watch Samera Mroczkowski make a bubble out of dry ice and water during the Gatewood Science Fair Palooza. “I wanted to do something unique, I was nervous at first that it wouldn’t work,” said Mroczkowski.

Gatewood teacher Charlene Higuchi looks over the science project “dog body parts and how they work.” Students Clarie Jacobson, Alexandra Robelo, and Isabella Bryant worked on the project.
