Shelton Martial Arts Dan makes County Science Fair
Wesley Ross, a 1st Dan and member of both the SMA Demo team and Hwa Rang training group, takes first place for 5th graders in the Seven Oaks Elementary School Annual Science Fair and advances to the Anne Arundel County Public Schools (AACPS) Science Fair competition on May 21-22. Here he will compete county-wide under the category of “Social and Behavioral Science”. His project explores the affects of listening to music while studying on students’ test performance. So, what did his project unveil about music and studying? You’ll have to ask our resident scientist for the details but it seems that type of music (tempo/genre) and gender play a role as well. Congratulations Wesley!
