Northbrook fifth-grader Ileana Cozuc’s project on water quality in three suburbs earned her the title of “Most Likely to Win a Nobel Prize” at the District 31 PTO Science Fair on March 20 at Field Middle School in Northbrook. The future looks bright for Ileana Cozuc of Northbrook.
“I first located the water sources to collect samples,” Ileana said. “Then I tested the water for contamination—pollution and bacteria. Then I did a test strip for two seconds and then removed it. Then I compared the results to the color chart and compared the results.”“Overall, the results showed that most of the elements that were tested were average level, which means that was okay,” Ileana reported. “Northbrook had a lower water hardness and pH level. Also, it had zero levels for lead.
Cozuc said that he was impressed with the way Ileana described her project to visitors and the judges. “She was very professional,” he said. “She took her time to explain the project and didn’t seem nervous at all. As a parent, that makes you really proud.”
