Two examples that were put on display for Super Science Saturday were posters on Madam C.J. Walker and Roger Arliner Young. Madam C.J. Walker was known for her work with cosmetics and Roger Arliner Young was a scientist of zoology, biology, and marine biology.
Battle of Pydna: This project showed how the Macedonian Phalanx was defeated by the Romans.
Science World: This project displayed visuals and explanations of many concepts from the world of science. Some of those concepts were chemistry, genetics, evolution, protons, neutrons, electrons, and
molecules.
Soil Formation: This project showed soil composition and formation.Ancient Egypt: This project allowed students to create dioramas based on King Tut, the Pyramids of Giza, Mummies, and any other concept that represented Ancient Egypt.
Cretaceous War Zone: This project allowed students to take prehistoric creatures from the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous period and put them in combat situations to see what creature would survive. The Cretaceous War Zone promoted students conducting research about the physical aspects of the prehistoric creatures, geography, and forensics.
Prehistoric Times Magazine Project: Prehistoric Times Magazines were put on display that had Asbury Park students work published inside of them. Asbury Park Middle School students were published in issues 93, 96, 97, 98, 99a, 99b, 100a, 100b, 102, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109,

Asbury Park Middle School students had their projects published in G-Fan Magazine 98.
