He will also get to present his project at the statewide science fair in the spring. Alex will be taken out for ice cream by his parents to celebrate his hard work.

Answer 1

You have rewritten the first two sentences correctly in the active voice. However, the last three sentences still contain passive voice. Here’s a fully revised version of your paragraph with all sentences in active voice:

Alex Muros won the science fair this year. His project explained why leaves change colors in the fall. The principal gave Alex a prize. He will also present his project at the statewide science fair in the spring. His parents will take him out for ice cream to celebrate his hard work.

Great effort! Just a few adjustments were needed to keep everything in the active voice.
