FULTON SCIENCE ACADEMY - STORMWATER FLOODPLAIN SIMULATION SYSTEM


FULTON SCIENCE ACADEMY PRIVATE SCHOOL STUDENTS 
LEARNED ABOUT STORMWATER 
USING A STORMWATER FLOODPLAIN SIMULATION SYSTEM

Terry Porter, environmental educator for the City of Alpharetta, visited 6th and 7th grade science classes on Thursday bringing a new Stormwater Floodplain Simulation System that the city recently acquired. In fact, Fulton Science Academy Private School is only the second school in North Fulton to use this simulation system model.

This hands-on, simulation model clearly demonstrates the critical role of floodplains and how development within the watershed can impact stormwater runoff and flooding within the watershed and floodplain areas.

Students performed a variety of realistic experiments involving floodwaters and the damages that may follow.

Fulton Science Academy Won 2nd Place at Regional Science Olympiad



In its first year as a private school, Fulton Science Academy’s Science Olympiad Team placed second at the Regional Tournament held at the University of North Georgia in Oakwood on Saturday, February 9. The team will now advance to the State Tournament to be held March 16 at Southern Polytechnic State University in Marietta. 
Head Coaches Pam Walsh and Gloria Stathos expected tough competition at the tournament and were pleased with the team’s performance. “We placed in the top ten in 23 out of 24 events,” said Mrs. Walsh.  “In addition, our B team, composed of less-experienced Science Olympiad students, placed 7th of the 24 teams, beating teams from Trickum, Chamblee, and Dickerson middle schools. The B team’s success is a good indicator of our future potential,” she explained.
