These are my children's science fair projects. It was yesterday, and here, every single elementary year you do a science fair project. (Yes, I know, tell me about it, ughhhhh.....)
I was able to get out of it growing up because we lived somewhere where they did it in 6th grade and then we moved and where we moved, they did it in 5th grade. But, alas, my payback is all three of my children having to do it for multiple years.
Sami's is on the top and she did hers on different environments which might cause bread to mold.
Gus did an underwater volcano, showing that hot water is lighter than cold water. Sarah did hers on the "pure water" here (after we clean it up) and the tap water (we call it dirty water) and put a leaf in it to see which environment would decompose it quicker. Needless to say the "Pure water" was the best and cleanest and the healthiest....
They all received a certificate stating they had done well and congratulating them. If you ask me, they need something better than a certificate to motivate me for next year's projects.... However, next year, I have one child less in the science fair ordeal and that alone, motivates me.
Honestly, I was really proud of all of them. Sarah did hers with a partner. This is one of her good friends from Canada, who is also in her class. Again, I found myself feeling very proud of them and all their hard work. I think I was more nervous than them when it came to presenting their work before others.
I love them. They were naturals; however, I think Gus is the one who really, really enjoys science more than the rest..... For the record, I did have a picture with Sami in it, but it accidentally got deleted. Sorry Sami, you looked great though!
