Students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12 exhibited almost 200 projects as Wakefield held its third annual Science Fair this week.

Meera Maheswaran, a senior from Charles Town, W. Va., received the award for “Best in Fair” for her project and research paper entitled “Fetal Development in Humans.” Maheswaran’s extensive research and thorough knowledge of her subject earned her a perfect score from the show’s judges. Hers was the first project in the fair’s history to earn this distinction.

The six divisions of the Science Fair were juried by eight judges, each an authority in his field. The panel included Brooke Hutt, an engineer with Melpar E. Systems; Merlin Larimer, a chemist with Atlantic Research Corporation; Dr. Richard Macon, the chief scientist at the FBI; Dr. William Mayberry',. DDS; James Monahan, a biology professor at NOVA; Dr. Glen Paule-Carres, a clinical psychologist; Dr. Jean Steinier, a physicist, and Dr. Suter, DDS.
