What is the effect of caffeine on plant growth? How does fat content in ice cream affect the rate at which it melts? What is the effect of phototropism on gravitropism in plants? Which foods are best to eat when taking aspirin (or other NSAID medications)? These questions were addressed in science projects by four students at Pressman Academy of Temple Beth Am, a Conservative Jewish day school. The students have been invited to the 59th annual California State Science Fair, which takes place May 17-18. They were invited after competing in the Los Angeles County Science Fair Junior Division, in which 709 students from more than 100 schools participated.
