RHMS 2021-2022 Science Expo First Place Winners

Congratulations to this year's RHMS 2021-2022 Science Expo participants and winners! Our Science Expo nurtured creativity and experimentation amongst the students and it seems to have taken a natural innovative tech turn this year! 

We would like to acknowledge Sophie.Z. and Mia.H. who placed first in our Grade 7 and 8 category for their outstanding Science Expo projects for the 2021-2022 school year.

The winning Grade 7 experiment used software such as Python and the experimenter’s code alongside a variety of hardware to create an automatic watering system that waters plants by soil moisture detection. It contrasted different watering methods such as control, drip irrigation and an automatic watering system to test plant growth and water consumption.  The system was created to be attentive towards environmental factors of the plant and to focus on water management. 

The winning Grade 8 experiment was created to assist people with Parkinson’s disease or other neurological disorders with a more effective SmartBrush to decrease the amount of plaque when brushing your teeth with a hand tremor versus the manual and electric toothbrush.  The main materials used in this experiment were an Arduino Nano, a toothbrush, servo motors, and an accelerometer and gyroscope.  Once built, the SmartBrush was compared to the manual and electric toothbrush for 4 days each. 

A special thank you to the RHMS Grade 7 and 8 team for all your encouragement, hard work and support! You all did an impressive job!
