How scientists arrived at the modern model of the atom
Dominic Richardson - Lutheran HS alumni completed a science fair projects on the effects of a healthy snack on perceived relative effectiveness on mental tasks as part of her honors chemistry requirement during the 2015-2016 academic year. She went on to earn 3rd in category (Social Science & Behaviors) at the Alamo Regional Science and Engineering Fair and advanced to the Texas Science and Engineering Fair. She reflected on this learning experience during the summer of 2022 and recorded this short podcast at the request of Andrew Schuetze of Lutheran HS of San Antonio. It was during this reflection vodcast effort that she mentally traced her college and career pathways to having an impetus in this project her sophomore year in high school.
Alynne Urban - Lutheran HS alumni completed a science fair projects on baking brownies as part of her honors chemistry requirement during the 2016-2017 academic year.
