Mission
To organize and support a network of Region 12 science teachers, higher education instructors, and community stakeholders in order to promote excellence in science teaching.
Accomplishments
Science Fair is Alive and Well in Region 12
Mexia Junior High Science had a delegation of 22 students qualify for the state science fair in San Antonio, which was held April 10th, 11th, and 12th. Ashleigh Fleming received a special award from the U.S. Navy for her project that dealt with the effect of weathering on clover seed germination. Alana Holt received honorable mention for her project in Cellular Microbiology, which showed the effects of antioxidants on the plant cancer agrobacterium tumefacians. Taylor Armstrong placed 3rd in Behavioral and Social Science with her project which showed the effects of adding a student’s own name to a standardized test to see if there was a difference in scores. Mollie McCoslin placed 2nd in Animal Science with her project which showed the effects of the anabolic steroid Stanozolol on chickens. Ashton Kantor placed 3rd in Environmental Management with her project which dealt with the best organic control of mosquito larvae and turbidity of pond water.
