The projects that were presented and on display were: Black History Month Project (Famous Black Scientists):

For Black History Month APMS science teacher Ms. Marquardt made her students’ research famous black scientists.

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,
110, 111, 112, and 113.  P.S.: In addition, Asbury Park Middle School students’ art work was
published in issue 113 of Prehistoric Times. Also in G-Fan Magazine issue 100, late actress Anna Nakagawa held up in a photo an issue of G-Fan Magazine 98. Asbury Park Middle School students had their projects published in G-Fan Magazine 98. Therefore, Asbury Park Middle School students made history by becoming not only a part of G-Fan Magazine issue 100 but also Prehistoric Times issue 100 and the 20th Anniversary issue of Prehistoric Times.
