The Science Club sponsors the Science Fair, and also presents demonstrations and projects. Another project of the Science Club is the paper drive. The money made from the recycled papers goes to help the museum, known as the Little House to most students. They've added a lot to the museum since last year - like an insect collection, snakes, lizards, and several new diaramas. All of the exhibits in the museum have been made by the students. One of the most fascinating projects of the museum is the turtle pond which was dug and stocked by the students. All of the animals have been taken from Stone County. The newest addition to the museum is the trailer donated for more exhibits ln the future. , l'--ni. f Concentrating on controlling the world, these science 4' , students operate the energy environmental simulator.
