Michael Williamson of Williamson’s Solicitors in Crewkerne was among several local groups and businesses who sponsored the youngsters in their project
Amy Gardiner, 14, Victoria Hawkins, 13, Tom Pittard, 14 and Stuart Weston, 14, won the regional finals of the competition while they were at Maiden Beech Academy in Crewkerne last year. Now they could be demonstrating to the likes of Professor Brian Cox and could be featured on the BBC's The Big Bang science programme.
Louisa Ridgley, head of science at Maiden Beech, said: "The students investigated the best products to clean metals. They used a range of everyday materials, such as cola and orange juice to see which would be the best and tested their ideas on pennies. They found that overall the best products were vinegar and tomato ketchup.
