Science Fair 2014!

All 3 kids wanted to enter the science fair this year.  Oi.  I'm a huge fan of science experiments and having the kids develop a hypothesis and then try it out.  I just hate putting together boards.  I'm not a scrapbooker and I want the kids to do as much of the board as possible with it still being legible.  We planned ahead and got to work and finished in the afternoon the day before the fair!  I've been known to be up at 10:00 p.m., still taping stuff to the board but not this year!!

Juliet tested whether white or wheat bread molds faster.  (It's white, btw.)  She won 3rd place in her grade!

Maxine tested old-fashioned fire methods and which one works best.  (Flint and steel, rubbing sticks together, etc.)  She won 1st in her grade and it going to district.  She also did the entire board by herself, typing and all!  I just printed the pictures.

Jack tested hot and cold water and which one freezes the fastest.  He taped everything on his board and cut it out.  He won 3rd in his grade!

I'm pleased with all their hard effort and it's nice when they get to win too.

This last picture is Juliet releasing her butterfly that she's raised from a caterpillar.  It was fun.
